Morning Glory

Scattered across my bedroom floor

With my June Christy records

Sitting with my pastel phone

Today it's my best friend

Tomorrow we could end

But still it's better than being alone

I sigh and look out the window

To see a world other than my own

And I witness the morning glory in all its proud glory

And you can see it in the whole world's story

I can't figure out these crossword puzzles

Might as well see what's on the television

Yesterday it was Ann Dvorak

And today it's Kim Novak

And tomorrow it may very well be just some hack

Trying to sell me a magic vacuum

But I'm just not falling for his act

I guess this is what they mean by

Meshes of the afternoon

Where you just want to fast-forward through all of the gloom

And you go out to dinner though you won't be a winner

A night at the opera and then you come home

And waiting for you is the morning glory

And you know he's going to show you the road home.
