6   -8 -8   6   6   7   7
Morningside,The old man died

 6  6  -8   -8     8   8  8    -9   9 9
And no one cried,They simply turned away

 7    7  -10 -10 -10-10 10 10-10  9
And when he died,He left a table made 

-9   8    9    9
of nails and pride

 8   -9   8    8    -8   7     -6     6   -8 -8
And with his hands, he carved these words inside

  6  -5   5   7
'For my children'

 6  -8   -8    6   7    7
Morning light,Morning bright

6   6   -8   -8    8      8     8  -9    9   9
I spent the night with dreams that make you weep

 7  -10 -10   -10 1010 10  -10 9 
Morning time,Wash away the sadness 

 -9    8    8   9   9
from these eyes of mine

 8 -9  8  9   8   -8   7   6  -8   -8 
For I recall the words an old man signed

  6  -5   5   7
'For my children'

spoken:
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children that sat around his table
Touched it with their laughter
Ah, and that was good

 6   -8 -8  6   6   7    7
Morningside,an old man died

-6  6  -8   -8   8   8  8   -9  9  9
And no one cried,He surely died alone

 7    7  -10 -10 -10 -10 9   9    -9     -9
And truth is sad,For not a child would claim

 8    8  9   9   8   -9   8    -8
the gift he had,The words he carved

 8 -8   7  6 -8 -8   6  -5   5   7   
became his epitaph,'For my children'
