Morning train - Sheena Easton

Morning train / Sheena Easton

I wake up every mornin', I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and yawnin', another day ahead
It seems to last forever, and time goes slowly by
Till babe and me's together, then it starts to fly

'Cause the moment that he's with me, time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me, everything's alright
Night time is the right time, we make love
Then it's his and my time, we take off

My baby takes the morning train, he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again to find me waitin' for him

He takes me to a movie, or to a restaurant, to go
Slow dancing, anything I want
Only when he's with me, I catch light
Only when he gives me, makes me feel alright

All day I think of him, dreamin' of him constantly
I'm crazy mad for him, and he's crazy mad for me
When he steps off that train, I'm makin' a fool, a fight
Work all day to earn his pay, so we can play all night

He's always on that morning train
He works so hard
To find me waiting for him...

 

1959년 4월 27일 스코틀랜드에서 시나 이스턴이 출생했다. 본명이 시나 셜리 오어(Sheena Shirley Orr)인 시나 이스턴은 2남 4녀 중의 막내로 태어났다.  

 

1981년 발표된 Sheena Easton의 대표적 히트곡 <morning train="train" to=""></morning>. 한번 들으면 금새 고개가 끄덕거릴 어여쁜 후렴부를 지니고 있다. 원제는 <9 To 5>였는데 당시 인기를 얻던 Dolly Parton의 노래제목과 같아 부제로 돌렸다.

 

경쾌함이 물결치는 이 곡의 대대적인 성공으로 일약 신데렐라로 부상, 81년 그래미 신인상을 거머쥐었고 제2의 올리비아 뉴튼 존으로 대접받기도 했던  Sheena Easton.
