Thirty-Five Years of Alarm Clocks
by Max Solano
“No alarm this morning, the sun came in on its own. For my aunt, thirty-five years of early starts and a first lie-in at last.”

Lyrics
No alarm clock this morning The sun came in on its own I lay there in the quiet Like a cat on a warm stone Thirty-five years of waking early Now the day is mine to hold Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring in my memory Thirty-five years of alarm clocks Now I'm sleeping, slow and free Let it ring, let it ring, one last time for me Thirty-five years of alarm clocks And a morning that's mine to keep I made my coffee slowly Watched the street go rushing by Everybody hurrying And me with a sky to try Thirty-five years of waking early Now the day is mine to hold Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring in my memory Thirty-five years of alarm clocks Now I'm sleeping, slow and free Let it ring, let it ring, one last time for me Thirty-five years of alarm clocks And a morning that's mine to keep Thank you for the early mornings Thank you for the friends I made Thank you for the long way home Now I'm taking the long way, no rush today Tomorrow I'll plant a garden Tomorrow I'll learn to dance Today I'll just sit with the sunshine And give the old clock a chance Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring in my memory Thirty-five years of alarm clocks Now I'm sleeping, slow and free Let it ring, let it ring, one last time for me Thirty-five years of alarm clocks And a morning that's mine to keep Slow and free A morning that's mine to keep
