Tomorrow morning 3 a.m. by The Granite Shore Lyrics
[Verse 1a]
Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I’ll walk out of the back door and into the garden
I’ll look to the heavens and know I’ll be heading up there
When I reach the fence that runs right up against the railway embankment
I’ll moisten a finger and hold it straight up in the air
[Verse 1b]
Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I’ll undo the padlocks and check all the systems
I’ve insulated the floor to dissipate heat
My rocket -powered module with tins for a body will stand there gloriously gleaming
And there is not one force of nature I cannot defeat
[Chorus 1]
And if Moonbase is open tomorrow they will see me flying by
And I’ll stop and I’ll wave, I’ll salute as I stand
One small step for one small man
[Verse 2]
Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I’ll be ready for lift-off and when the time comes then
I’ll need no charts, I know every light year, night or day
And as I sear through the final frontier, then I will hear a “pop” in my ear
I will kick out and I know just how much I shall weigh
[Chorus 2]
And if Moonbase is open tomorrow they will see me hurtling past
And they’ll stop and they’ll stare, they’ll salute as I stand
On my chair, as I straighten my tie with my hand
And then if I can, I’ll find somewhere to land
One small step for one small man
[Verse 3]
Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., with my pipe freshly filled, I’ll be with you again
You always said that was the mark of a man
Not eau-de-cologne, not what’s bred in the bone, I am rambling now but we’ll soon be alone
There’s time to make up and I need to atone if I can
[Chorus 3]
And if Moonbase is open tomorrow they will see my vapour line
And a comet that appears every three-score and ten years
Will shoot out and the pair will entwine
Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I’ll walk out of the back door and into the garden
I’ll look to the heavens and know I’ll be heading up there
When I reach the fence that runs right up against the railway embankment
I’ll moisten a finger and hold it straight up in the air
[Verse 1b]
Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I’ll undo the padlocks and check all the systems
I’ve insulated the floor to dissipate heat
My rocket -powered module with tins for a body will stand there gloriously gleaming
And there is not one force of nature I cannot defeat
[Chorus 1]
And if Moonbase is open tomorrow they will see me flying by
And I’ll stop and I’ll wave, I’ll salute as I stand
One small step for one small man
[Verse 2]
Tomorrow morning at 3 a.m., I’ll be ready for lift-off and when the time comes then
I’ll need no charts, I know every light year, night or day
And as I sear through the final frontier, then I will hear a “pop” in my ear
I will kick out and I know just how much I shall weigh
[Chorus 2]
And if Moonbase is open tomorrow they will see me hurtling past
And they’ll stop and they’ll stare, they’ll salute as I stand
