Lyrics Anacreon's Ode, Call'd the Lute ('English'd, to Be Sung By a Basse Alone) - Emma Kirkby feat. Anthony Rooley
Morning
rays
of
sun
shine
through
the
window
lighting
up
my
face
Turn
around
there's
no
one
next
to
me
it's
only
empty
space
All
the
trees
and
nature
start
to
bloom
so
why
do
I
remain
I
remain,
remain
waiting
I
remain
waiting
Trains
passing
by
me
wondering
why
what's
the
point
of
all
this
now
I
cannot
move
forward
my
road
is
back
to
black
Even
the
time
moves
forward
My
pain
only
grows
stronger
And
even
if
I
tried
so
hard
I
couldn't
see
through
that
grey
sky
Would've
been
better
hadn't
I
met
you,
it
pains
me
to
know
that
I
let
you
To
walk
away
with
all
the
secrets
of
my
broken
mind
If
i
could
go
back
in
the
time,
I
would
go
ahead
and
press
rewind
And
even
if
we
tried
to
make
it
alright
- I
doubt
it
would
be
fine
Morning
rays
of
sun
shine
through
the
window
lighting
up
my
face
Turn
around
there's
no
one
next
to
me
it's
only
empty
space
All
the
trees
and
nature
start
to
bloom
so
why
do
I
remain
I
remain,
I
remain
waiting
I
remain
waiting
Ohhh
The
letter
said
"I'm
okay"
I
wonder
if
you
saw
through
those
lies
of
blurred
out
writing
When
you
read
it
to
yourself
and
I
wonder,
is
she
like
me,
is
she
stupid
naive
and
weak
What
your
up
to
now
days
anyway
- as
I
cross
the
railways
Would've
been
better
hadn't
I
met
you,
it
pains
me
to
know
that
I
let
you
To
walk
away
with
all
the
secrets
of
my
broken
mind
If
i
could
go
back
in
the
time,
Baby
I
would
go
ahead
and
press
rewind
And
even
if
we
tried
to
make
it
alright
- I
doubt
it
would
be
fine
Morning
rays
of
sun
shine
through
the
window
lighting
up
my
face
Turn
around
there's
no
one
next
to
me
it's
only
empty
space
All
the
trees
and
nature
start
to
bloom
so
why
do
I
remain
I
remain,
remain
waiting
I
remain
waiting
Ohhhh
Morning
rays
of
sun
shine
through
the
window
lighting
up
my
face
Turn
around
there's
no
one
next
to
me
it's
only
empty
space
All
the
trees
and
nature
start
to
bloom
so
why
do
I
remain
I
remain,
remain
waiting
Under
trees
above
you
called
me
yours
then
whispered
in
my
ear
"I'll
be
here"
I
felt
you
near
but
time
makes
truth
to
disappear
broken
heart
frozen
in
winter
wind
so
long
ago
but
still
I
remain,
remain
waiting
I
remain
waiting
for
Spring
