Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

MORNING IS MY DESTINATION – TIFT MERRITT ------------------------------------------------ GBmCAm With the city closed for eve-ning GBmC and the streets dressed up in rain, GF#BmD7 My sweet man, do you have some place to get to?
DCGDCG Morning is my destination. See me through. Morning is my destination. See me through.
Night’s not always free and easy, the way it is in my mind. If I should find I need some help from you,
