Find Me in the Morning

Find me in the morning

When the last train starts to call
Find me in the morning
I will choose you through it all

Stay a little, my love
Oh-na-na, oh-na-na
Morning won't change us

On this Jozi rooftop, past twelve
Your red shoes tapping by the rail
Gold windows flicker below us
You laugh, then hide your face from me
My phone keeps lighting up in my hand
Three missed calls from the life I planned
But tonight, sisi, I don't want to run
Your shoulder finds mine, and the fear comes undone

You say the sky is turning pale
I say, my love, don't let it fail
If you must go when birds begin
Give me one promise before you leave

Find me in the morning
When the last train starts to call
Find me in the morning
I will choose you through it all

Stay a little, my love
Oh-na-na, oh-na-na
Morning won't change us

We made a home in almost-maybe
Kept our true names behind our teeth
You feared I'd vanish when it got serious
I feared your yes would make me weak
So we danced around the honest thing
Like two hands hovering over a ring
But sharp sharp, my heart knows your name
No more hiding love behind a game

The lift is waiting down below
Your suitcase says you have to go
But if this night is all we own
I'll make tomorrow know you're mine

Find me in the morning
When the last train starts to call
Find me in the morning
I will choose you through it all

Stay a little, my love
Oh-na-na, oh-na-na
Morning won't change us

Just your breath and this old piano
No bright screen between us now
I turn my phone face down, my darling
Let every waiting voice wait out
Take my hand, ndiyazama
I am done with almost-love
When the first light finds your window
You will know who I choose

Find me in the morning
When the last train starts to call
Find me in the morning
I will choose you through it all
Find me in the morning
With your red shoes by my door
Find me in the morning
I won't be afraid anymore

Oh-na-na, oh-na-na
Stay a little, my love
