Morning Dew
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Morning Dew", also known as "(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew", is an apocalyptic folk-rock song written by Canadian Bonnie Dobson in 1962, that has become a standard.
According to Dobson in a 1993 interview, Morning Dew was inspired by the film On the Beach.[1]
Fred Neil heard Dobson's song and re-arranged it to suit his own style. Tim Rose heard Neil's version and then recorded his own in 1966, adding himself as co-writer. Through a loophole in US copyright law, Rose was able to claim royalties.
