Morningside (Live (1972 Greek Theater)) - Neil Diamond
Morningside
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away
when he died
He left a table made of nails
and pride
And with his hands
He carved these words inside
For my children
Morning light
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness
From these eyes of mine
For I recall the words an old
man signed
For my children
And the legs were shaped with
his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And all of the children
That get around this great table
Touched it with their laughter
Ah and that was good
Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the
gift he had
The words he carved became
his epitaph
For my children
