| In the morning | |
| It is raining | |
| And umbrellas block the pavement | |
| In the caf?People waking | |
| With a cigarette and coffee | |
| And she sits there with her paper | |
| Half asleep into a picture | |
| In the morning | |
| In the morning | |
| It's all over | |
| That's another night of business | |
| With the punters | |
| On the corner | |
| Of estates around the river | |
| And she adds up all the takings | |
| Hid behind her wilting paper | |
| In the morning | |
| In the morning | |
| Soaked in bath oil | |
| Dressed in pink towels | |
| And a sweater | |
| Looking out at all the people | |
| Walking under their umbrellas | |
| In the morning | |
| There's a feeling | |
| Of resentment and expectance | |
| It's a fear that comes with working | |
| On the dark streets for a living | |
| She's attending | |
| To her wet hair | |
| At the window in the evening | |
| Getting ready in a short skirt | |
| With her stockings around her ankles | |
| It's a flame that gets attention | |
| In a darkness without light | |
| And the children need a cuddle | |
| As she walks into the light | |
| Of the morning |
