[Verse 1]
Here it is seven in the a.m
It's gonna take more than wakin' to rise me
I wake up with this need again
But feel the love of the woman beside me
It's just one of those days
When I wanna lay here with her
And love her before I leave
And listen to the rain fall up on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

[Chorus]
Oh I listen to her breathe
And it makes me wanna wake her up
And tell her that I'm on fire
With morning desire

[Verse 2]
It looks like I'm gonna be late again
And I need to get up and get movin'
And I'm tryin'
But the longer I keep stalling
The more I think about callin' in and lying here
It's just one of those days
When I wanna stay here with her
And watch her while she sleeps
And listen to the rain fall up on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

[Chorus]
Oh I listen to her breathe
And it makes me wanna wake her up
And tell her that I'm on fire
With morning desire

[Bridge]
Well I love to hear the rain fallin' on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

[Chorus]
Oh I listen to her breathe
And it makes me wanna wake her up
And tell her that I'm on fire
With morning desire
