Paroles
When the deer is bedded down
And the bear is gone to ground
And the northern goose has wandered off
To warmer bay and sound
It's so easy in the cold
To feel the darkness all the year
And the heart is growing lonely for the morning
Oh my Joanie don't you know
That the stars are swinging slow
And the seas are rolling easy
As they did so long ago
If I had a thing to give you
I would tell you one more time
That the world is always turning toward the morning
When October's growing thin
And November's coming on
You'll be thinking of the season
And the sad things that you've seen
And you'll hear that old wind walking
Hear him singing high and thin
You could swear he's out there singing of his sorrows
Oh my Joanie don't you know
That the stars are swinging slow
And the seas are rolling easy
As they did so long ago
If I had a thing to give you
I would tell you one more time
That the world is always turning toward the morning
So the darkness falls around you
And you hear the north wind blow
And you hear him call your name out
As he walks the bitter snow
That old wind don't mean you trouble
He don't care or even know
He's just walking down the darkness toward the morning
Oh my Joanie don't you know
That the stars are swinging slow
And the seas are rolling easy
As they did so long ago
If I had a thing to give you
I would tell you one more time
That the world is always turning toward the morning
It's a pity we don't know
What the little flowers know
They can't face the cold November
They can't take the wind and snow
They put their glories all behind them
Bow their heads and let it go
But you know they'll be there shining in the morning
Oh my Joanie don't you know
That the stars are swinging slow
And the seas are rolling easy
As they did so long ago
If I had a thing to give you
I would tell you one more time
That the world is always turning toward the morning
