Morning Sun

This was a mid-to-late '60's song- I believe it was called Morning Sun. It was sung by an English sounding group; it was about an old newspaper peddler who was all but invisible to the people who hurried past him day in and day out. He sold the Morning Sun newspaper. Lyrics of the final verse went like this:

When the evening's done and everyone's gone home
He walks up and down the city streets alone
No one hears him crying
No one sees the tears
They don't even see him
He's been dead for years
Crying "Papers . . . Papers . . . Get your Morning Sun."
Papers . . . Papers . . . Get your Morning Sun."

Just a guess but it could be in this old off-Broadway musical.
Fred Ebb's Morning Sun (1963)

No, I don't know what it is, but I am also trying to find it. It's from the mid 60's. "Morning Sun" may not be the title.

Try "Morning Sun" by Beau (1969)

Thanks, but that's not it. The song is sorta psychedelic-sounding, similar to the Electric Prunes.

How about Traffic... 'Paper Sun' ...... different words though

So you think your having good times
With the boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet
But if you look around and see
Your shadow on the run
Don't be too upset because it's just a paper sun

Ahh Paper Sun, Ahh Paper Sun

In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes all thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But there again it's nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun

Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn!

When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the six pence for the phone
And icicles you're crying
From your cheek have just begun
Don't be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun

Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy who had given you so much fun
Has left you so cold in the paper sun
