We drive out to the country, the weekend is finally here We park near two big boulders and we strap on our gear We hike in about 3 miles and erect our camping site And by a dying fire we crash for the night We wake up early next morning and we pack up our tent We eat griddle cakes for breakfast, and some little chocolate mints The stars are nearly out of sight and the sky a frosty blue I stand up tall and then I look at you (And say) Take me in your fragrant palm Let's stroll the morning wood The birds are chirping and the bees are out And I'd love it if you could Hold on to the morning wood (yeah) Open up your arms to the morning wood The tinny babble of a nearby brook is music to our ears You pick some morning glories as we spy a lonesome deer You hold me hand as you skip along whistling in the air Your touching winks show me you really care As we make our way down long lost trails we speak about our love I tell you you're my perfect girl, that you fit me like a glove The forest is alive with song as the dawn moves into day I stare at you and this is what I pray Open your mouth and take a big old gulp Of the sweet morning wood The air is fresh with the smell of rain And the world is clean and good Oh, taste the morning wood (yeah) Swallow in the warm buzz of morning wood Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la...Sha-la-la-la-di-da Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Weh-hey-hep-a-hole-dingaling-dong Dong...dong... We finally reach the summit as the sun begins to show A yellow patch of flowers in a field where the wind does blow We stretch out on the dewey grass and we hold each other close And I show you all the secrets that I know (And I) Take you with all my being As we explore the morning wood The dark crevaces of our souls The rushing power of our blood Oh, the glorious morning wood (yeah) Our love's alive in my deep and pulsing wood And you say "Next time, let's try the Grand Canyon" |
