Too Soon

Even if I turn off the volume

close my eyes tighter

and ignore the morning light

I know it's that time again

and I am not ready for it all to begin

Mornings are a rough start to the day

There has to be another way

to awaken me from slumber

Too soon the dark of night 

turns into day

Too soon the warm blankets

must give way 

Too soon my return

to responsibilities of the day

Too soon

is all I have to say

I know it's that time again

and I am not ready for it all to begin
