The Morning the Music Died

Read the official lyrics for ‘The Morning the Music Died’, an original song by Abu Sayed.

The sun is rising, but I'm holding on to the night
Your fingers tracing every shadow in the fading light
I hear the echo of a melody we left behind
Before the silence takes us, let me memorize your mind
Coffee cooling on the table, shadows on the wall
I pull you closer, listening to the quiet fall
A single string is humming in the empty room
Tangled up together in the early dawn perfume
The sky is turning golden, but I'm looking at your face
Time is moving forward, but we're anchored in this place
I feel your heartbeat rushing like a river to the sea
Every single breath you take is pouring into me
We're dancing in the ashes of the morning the music died
There's nowhere left to wander, there is nowhere left to hide
I want to feel the fire burning slow and burning deep
Before the world awakens, and we fall back into sleep
Hold me closer, let the world fade out
Hold me closer, that's what love's about
The dust is dancing softly in the heavy midnight air
I bury every worry in the shadows of your stare
No heavy words to carry, no empty lines to keep
Just a slow and steady rhythm pulling me down deep
The sky is turning golden, but I'm looking at your face
Time is moving forward, but we're anchored in this place
I feel your heartbeat rushing like a river to the sea
Every single breath you take is pouring into me
We're dancing in the ashes of the morning the music died
There's nowhere left to wander, there is nowhere left to hide
I want to feel the fire burning slow and burning deep
Before the world awakens, and we fall back into sleep
Hold me closer, let the world fade out
Hold me closer, that's what love's about
The silence is a canvas, and I'm painting it with you
A masterpiece of midnight fading softly into blue
Every time you look at me, I'm falling off the edge
A quiet kind of fever, standing out here on the ledge
Sayed will never let this fleeting moment slip away
I'm locking up the midnight so we never see the day
I don't want to hear the morning
I just want to listen to you
We're dancing in the ashes of the morning the music died
There's nowhere left to wander, there is nowhere left to hide
I want to feel the fire burning slow and burning deep
Before the world awakens, and we fall back into sleep
