#Angel of the morning

[autumnsunshine10]

Don't call me angel of the morning

Or baby in the night

Don't call me only lonely

In fact, don't call me at all

I've run out of battery

Out of service, out of time

For wasted wasters and chubby chasers

Double decker rubberneckers

Slowing down to openly gape

Flat on my face, gravelly scrapes

In places I didn't know could break

So if you ever cared then I'll accept

All charges just to hear

A convincing tint in your voice

Saying you're not going anywhere

This time for sure for real

[sugashook]

There'll be no strings to bind your hands

Not if my love can't bind your heart

And if we're victims of the night

I won't be blinded by the light

There's no need to take a stand

For it was I who chose to start

Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Then slowly turn away from me

I see no need to take me home

I'm old enough to face the dawn

Then slowly turn away

I won't beg you to stay with me

Song: Angel of the Morning

Artist: Merrilee Rush and the Turnabouts

Songwriters: Chip Taylor

Release Date: February 7, 1968

Lyrics on Genius

This oft-recorded song ruminating on the feelings of a woman following a one-night stand became a hit for the third person to record hit, Merrilee Rush. A version by Juice Newton also became a big hit in 1981 which is when I first heard the song. Interesting trivia: songwriter Chip Taylor's other big hit song is the thematically-different "Wild Thing," another song that has been covered by many artists. Taylor is also the brother of Jon Voight and uncle of Angelina Jolie.

Every day in 2023, I will shuffle my enormous All Time Favorite Song playlist on Tidal and write about the first song that comes up.
