In the Heat of the Morning Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alex Turner]
The blazing sunset in your eyes
Will tantalise every man who looks your way

I watched them sink before your gaze
Señorita sways, dance with me before their frozen eyes
I'm so much in love
Like the ragged soldier catching butterflies


[Pre-Chorus: Alex Turner]
No man loved like I love you
Wouldn't you like to love me too?

[Chorus: Alex Turner & Miles Kane]
In the heat of the morning
In the shadow, I'll clip your wings
And I'll tell you I love you
In the heat of the morning


[Verse 2: Alex Turner]
I'll tie a knot in rainbow's end, challenge the trees
Light my candle from the sun
I'll give you daylight for a friend, I'll do all of these
I'll prove that it can be done
Oh, I'm so much in love
Like a little boy who races with the wind
[Pre-Chorus: Alex Turner]
No man loved like I love you
Wouldn't you like to love me too?

[Chorus: Alex Turner & Miles Kane]
In the heat of the morning
In the shadow, I'll clip your wings
And I'll tell you I love you
In the heat of the morning

In the heat of the morning
In the shadow, I'll clip your wings
And I'll tell you I love you
In the heat of the morning

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 [?]
