Morning in a Minor Key

Diesel smoke from a backhoe

The tin sounds from a dobro

And a barking dog

Up the street

They all compete

With the south wind

This morning

In a minor key

And there’s business emails

That don’t mean much

Blame the people that have lost their human touch

And a barking dog

Down the street

They all compete

With the south wind

This morning

Is in a minor key

I’ve been distracted

By noise

In my ears

Between my ears

But this morning

I hear it clear

I hear it clear in a minor key

This morning

Is in a minor key
