Darling, please lay in my arms, a brand new day will soon be dawning
Soon, my love, I promise you
In your arms, there's a golden cradle shining like the daybreak on the face of younger mountains
Where the vespers talk, oh, they say
Oh my, oh my darling, you ain't got to say a word, they say
Darling, wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
A big green blanket, just like Daphne wore
When that strange God came and raped her
And her father, God, embraced her
By that same riverbank where she was born
Saying, oh my, oh my darling
You ain't got to say a word
He said, shh
Darling, wait till morning comes
He said, oh my, oh my darling
You ain't got to say a word
He said, shh
Darling, wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Do you really need this cradle
I have carved you from my hands
Do you really need a lover
Do you really need a man
She said, I never found the morning
Oh my darling, in your hands
She said, I never found that golden morning
Burning in your hands
She said, I nearly found that golden morning
Before you gave me all them splinters, man
Oh, my, oh, my darling
You ain't got to say a word
She said, shh
All you gods are just the same
She said, oh, my, oh, my darling
You ain't got to say a word
She said, shh
Oh, baby, wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
Wait till morning comes
