Annotationen

Ein Song über den Morgen nach der Wahlnacht als Donald Trump zum Präsident gewählt wurde. «It's morning again in America» war 1984 der Wahlslogan von Donald Trump. Die Zeilen «Walked the banks of the Ohio / Felt a chill to the bone» spielt an die alte Mörderballade (Roud 157) an.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fell asleep with the TV on Finally feelin' like I belong Woke up to a funeral song Called you up to say "hello" Left a message for you at home Packed my dishes in styrofoam Everything I knew is gone [Chorus] It's raining in Ohio The streets are slick, shows what I know I hear their cries through my window They're mourning again in America Mourning again in America [Verse 2] Tied my shoes when I woke up Drew my curtains just enough Thought about the ones I loved Tucked my chin into my coat Shrugged my shoulders, cleared my throat Walked the banks of the Ohio Felt a chill to the bone [Chorus] It's raining in Ohio The streets are slick, shows what I know I hear their cries through my window They're mourning again in America Mourning again in America Mourning again in America Mourning again in America
