In the morning, I'll watch the day break
On Figueroa Mountain, hills all around
Beside you, I'll make a promise
After that imagination fails me, what should I expect?
When I first knew you we were like children
Beacon Hill, a foot of snow, I held you
One day you had to go
When I was all alone I found the light to guide me home
It wasn't something I could see until you showed me
We went a-searching, we crossed this country
To find a place to call our own we left behind all we had known
A moth to flame, a bird flies south, these things don't change
We found out all we need to know: you want it close, you let it go
So in the morning, we'll watch the day break
On Figueroa Mountain, hills all around
If you want it close, you let it go
If you want her close, you let her go
