[Verse 1]
           
I have seen th

              
e morning burn

             
ing golden on 

              
the mountain i

      
n the skies
           
Aching with th

              
e feeling of t

             
he freedom of 

              
an eagle when 

    
she flies
             
Turning on the

              
 world the way

              
 she smiled up

              
on my soul as 

      
I lay dying
           
Healing as the

              
 colors in the

             
 sunshine and 

              
the shadows of

     
 her eyes


[Verse 2]
           
Waking in the 

              
morning to the

             
 feeling of he

              
r fingers on m

  
y skin
           
Wiping out the

              
 traces of the

             
 people and th

              
e places that 

     
I've been
             
Teaching me th

              
at yesterday w

              
as something t

              
hat I never th

         
ought of tryin

g
           
Talking of tom

              
orrow and the 

             
money, love an

              
d time we had 

   
to spend
           
Loving her was

             
 easier than a

              
nything I'll e

        
ver do again


[Verse 3]
             
Coming close t

              
ogether with a

              
 feeling that 

              
I've never kno

     
wn before, in 

my time
             
 She ain't ash

             
amed to be a w

              
oman or afraid

         
 to be a frien

d
             
I don't know t

              
he answer to t

              
he easy way sh

              
e opened every

 
 door in my mi

nd
           
But dreaming w

              
as as easy as 

             
believing it w

              
as never gonna

 
 end
           
And loving her

              
 was easier th

             
an anything I'

            
ll ever do aga
