Misty Morning Lyrics

[Chorus]
Misty morning, don't see no sun
I know you are out there somewhere having fun
There is one mystery - yea-ea-eah - I just can't express
To give your more, to receive your less

One of my good friend said, in a reggae riddim
"Don't jump in the water, if you can't swim

[Verse 1]
The power of philosophy - yea-ea-eah - floats through my head
Light like a feather, heavy as lead
Light like a feather, heavy as lead, yeah

[Verse 2]
See no sun! Oh
Time has come, I want you
I want you to straighten out my tomorrow! Uh
I want - I want - I want you - (tomorrow)
Oh, wo-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I want you to straighten out my (tomorrow)

[Chorus]

"You can't jump - you can't jump in the water, if you can't swim

[Verse 3]
I want you (I want you) - I want you to straighten out my today
My tomorrow - my-my-my - my - my
(I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
On a misty morning! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“"Misty Morning” is a Song from the Kaya tenth studio album released by Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1978. The album consists of tracks recorded alongside those present on the Exodus album in 1977.
The album has a very relaxed, laid back sound, lacking much of the militant quality of the Wailers lyrically and musically. They received criticism for ‘going soft’ as a result of the general sound of the album as well as the theme: songs primarily revolving around love, as well as marijuana.
The album’s release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, heralding Marley’s triumphant return to Jamaica from exodus in London. Three of the songs are new versions of tracks from the 1971 album Soul Revolution Part II. Well-known songs from the album include “Is This Love” and “Satisfy My Soul”. Kaya reached the top five in the UK album charts.“
