Jack Bruce - Morning Story

I know for a fact that this isn't perfect, but once again, its as close as I could get 

Intro:       (repeat 
 

                         
Running, jumping, pushing its way
                          
Mornings nighttime blends into day
                             
Can't find curtains to shut it away

                                      
We were alone in the hills of the night
                                 
Now the neon dawn lets in the light
                                                      
And the milkman that nobody knows leaves bottles of tears
                                             
At the house full of laughter nobody ever hears


O the grass is burned black
                                         
By the ships coming back from the stars, golden stars

Seas turned to flame
                                       
   
When we boiled the dream of tomorrow, tomorrow

                
When it gets light
                    
Some of them always stay
                   
She's dressed in white
                         
Till the smoke turns her grey

                           
Falling, stumbling, feeling its way
                          
Mornings nighttime moves into day
                           
Can't find warmth to keep it away

                                    
Used to be alone on the waves of cloud
                                     
Now the flotsam dawn brings in the crowd
                                              
And the angel who sits in her car / Full of desire
                                                   
But the hoses who came from the town / Put out her fire

      
O the seas have run dry
                                         
And the sun's one good eye is too blind to see

Sky has gone bad
                                              
     
From the good times we had burning bright, such good times

                
When it gets light
                    
Some of them always stay
                   
She's dressed in white
                                
Till the smoke turns her grey
