Light Sleeper - NPR Tiny Desk Entry 2026
Music & Lyrics by Margaret Wehr
Mornings may break me
Birdsong, my heart
Your cup of coffee
I wake to start
I was ever a late riser
Slow to greet the day
Knowing you'd be up's the only thing
Could make me change my ways
Oh, I wish you'd stay
Sunrise is glowing
Here in my palm
Good morning, how'd you sleep?
First line of your song
I was ever a light sleeper
Center of the bed
But knowing you'd be next to me
It made me want to lay my head
A little to the left
I've seen the lineup
I placed my bet
Five foot and a quarter
Still, you stand above the rest
I was ever such a feeler
Sad song in my chest
You made me a believer
In somebody saying yes
Wish you all the best
Mornings may break me
Birdsong, my heart
Your cup of coffee
I'd still wake to start
