I have seen the daylight fading
I have faced the eventide
But tomorrow I'll be going
Over on the morning side
Over on the morning side
If the wind of sorrow takes me
On the wings of love I'll fly
Till I come to rest so sweetly
Over on the morning side
Over on the morning side
When the midnight hour tarries
Shadows seep into my mind
I know the darkness can't be carried
Over on the morning side
Over on the morning side
Oh mourning dove I hear your song
Remember, lift your eyes
You sing of where my soul belongs
So I will sing as I rise
There's a sacred sanctuary
Where a ray of hope resides
With a candle brightly burning
Over on the morning side
Over on the morning side
I have seen the daylight fading
I have faced the eventide
But tomorrow I'll be going
Over on the morning side
Over on the morning side
