- this morning i know who you are 
- this morning i know who you are 
- 
- on the river, the sun is bright gold 
- and the things you try to say to me make my blood run cold 
- but i hold you anyway, and we stare into the sun all day 
- and you're about to leave again 
- i've learned to read your movements 
- and i'm learning how to read your mind 
- the sun climbs the sky for us above the mississippi 
- and i feel you in my arms, but you're hardly even with me 
- this morning i know who you are 
- this morning i know who you are
