Frosty Morning

Music and Lyrics by David

Vocals, Guitar and Instrumental Track by David


About the Song:
My nod to our forebears and those who created this uniquely American style of music. Heartaches by the number indeed. I played the instruments, sequenced the track and sang the vocals.

lyrics

Lyrics:

One frosty morning

We were walking hand in hand

Was a frosty morning

As we strolled throughout our land



Autumn harvest was in and pasture freshly mown

What good land it had been, we had reaped what we had sown*



That frosty morning

As we made our way around

On a frosty morning

You know she didn’t make a sound



I thought she was quietly listening to the birds and willows crying

Now I know what I missed then and it makes me feel like dying



One frosty morning

I awoke to find her gone

Such a frosty morning

Still can’t figure what went wrong



She never told me her sorrow

Or that our love was a lie

Now to haunt my tomorrows

Here’s a note that says “goodbye”



Oh lady

Why’d you decide on leaving?

Love

All I got left is my grieving

The winter’s cold must have put a chill in your soul for me



Now I shuffle through leaves in the yard

Feel the air that’s getting colder

Never dreamed it could be so hard

To be alone and feeling older

On this frosty morning

Such a frosty morning

Frosty morning



*When I sing this song live I change the lyric to:

Autumn harvest was in and the pasture taking rest

What good land it had been, we had sown and reaped our best
