1.
It's the
F         C
morning.  I just awoke.
Dm       C                     Bb
Sun is   dancing through the   dew
F               C                 
Fog lies on the land like a smoke.
         Dm              (F)   Dm
It's the morning. I think of   you.

   F                C            Dm
   If you feel the  heart with-  in you,
   F                  C         Dm
   If you make your   eyes to   see,
   F                      C         Dm
   If you feel it's the   right de- cision,
   Bbmaj7                C
   Come and spend your   life with me

2.
F                          C
It's still early but the   sky is light
Dm        C          Bb
I could   fly it's   that time of day
F                      C                 
In the west, there's   still a trace of night
       Dm                (F)  Dm
I know you're just a mind a-  way

   F                C            Dm
   If you feel the  heart with-  in you,
   F                     C         Dm
   If your eyes should   come to   see,
   F                      C         Dm
   If you feel it's the   right de- cision,
   Bbmaj7                C
   Come and spend your   life with me

3.
F             C
The horizon   gives up the sun
Dm         C       Bb
Just got   up to   write you this song
F                   C
Now that it's all   over and done
             Dm         (F)  Dm
Seems like I knew it all a-  long

   F                C            Dm
   If you feel the  heart with-  in you,
   F                  C         Dm
   If your take the   time to   see
   F                      C         Dm
   If you feel it's the   right de- cision,
   Bbmaj7                C
   Come and spend your   life with me

The Resistance of the Camel — The afternoon

1.
         F           C
It's the afternoon.  Rain's coming down
Dm         C                Bb
Like the   sky itself was   sad
F                      C
Simple feelings just   hang around
     Dm              (F)   Dm
It's not too bad

   F                   C            Dm
   Glad you felt the   heart with-  in you
   F                    C         Dm

   Glad you thought it the   right de- cision,

   That you spend your   life with me

2.
F                      C
It's been lonely and   little success
Dm         C               Bb
Some for-  ever thrown a-  way
F                    C
Where we go now is   anyone's guess
         Dm               (F)   Dm
I know   I'm glad you came to   stay

   F                   C            Dm
   Glad you felt the   heart with-  in you
   F                      C         Dm
   Glad your eyes could   come to   see,
   F                         C         Dm
   Glad you thought it the   right de- cision,
   Bbmaj7                C
   That you spend your   life with me

 3.
   F                     C
In all directions just   mist and rain
Dm        C               Bb
Been so   long since we   saw the light
F                  C
Never ending and   can't explain
Dm                      (F)   Dm
Glad you thought it was all   right

   F                   C            Dm
   Glad you felt the   heart with-  in you
   F                   C         Dm
   Glad you took the   time to   see,
   F                         C         Dm
   Glad you thought it the   right de- cision,
   Bbmaj7                C
   That you spend your   life with me

The Resistance of the Camel — The evening

1.
         F           C
It's the evening,    night with no moon
Dm       C                   Bb
Mist and rain have turned to snow
F                    C
Through the quiet,   call of the loon
Dm                  (F) Dm
I know why you   had to go

   F               C       Dm
   Hard to find my way without you
   F                 C       Dm
   Hard to walk this path of ice
   F              C       Dm
   Hard to know I came to doubt you
         Bbmaj7        C
   Or to take my own advice

2.
F                   C
Snow is drifting,   tracks disappear
Dm               C        Bb
Everywhere looks just the same
F                   C
Whitest darkness,   nothing is clear
        Dm       (F) Dm
I don't even know my name

   F               C      Dm
   Hard to put the past behind us
   F               C      Dm
   Hard to think beyond today
   F                   C         Dm
   Hard to see through desp'rate blindness
   Bbmaj7                  C
   Hard to just recall the day

3.
F                C
Frigid silence   numb to the bone
Dm      C                Bb
Nothing left to think or feel
F               C
All is empty,   dead and alone
Dm                (F) Dm
Wond'ring was it ever real?

   F               C      Dm
   Hard to keep my heart upon you
   F               C       Dm
   Hard to see the face I know
   F                C       Dm
   Hard to not just give up living
   Bbmaj7                      C
   Now there's nothing else to do
