Morning
Glory - Live in London
(Also known as “The Hobo”)
I
lit my purest candle close to my
Window, hoping it would catch the eye
Of
any vagabond who passed it by,
And I waited in my fleeting house Before
he came I felt him drawing near;
As he neared I felt the ancient fear
That
he had come to wound my door and jeer,
And I waited in my fleeting house "Tell
me stories," I called to the Hobo;
"Stories of old," I smiled
at the Hobo;
"Stories of cold," I wept to the Hobo;
And I waited
in my fleeting house "No,"
said the Hobo, "No more tales of time;
Don't ask me now to wash away the
grime;
I can't come in it's just too high a climb,"
And he stood before
my fleeting house "Then
you be damned!" I screamed to the Hobo;
"Turn into stone ,"
I wept to the Hobo;
"Leave me alone," I knelt to the Hobo;
And
he walked away from my fleeting house Tim
