Morning Theft
Time takes care of the woundSo I can believeYou had so much to giveYou thought I couldn't see
Gifts for boot heels to crushPromises deceivedI had to send it awayTo bring us back again
Your eyes and body brightenSilent waters, deepYour precious daughter in theOther room, asleep
A kiss "Goodnight" from everyStranger that I meetI had to send it awayTo bring us back again
Morning theftUnpretender leftUngraceful
True self is whatBrought you here, to meA place where we canAccept this love
Friendship battered down byUseless historyUnexamined failure
But what am I still to youSome thief who stole from you?Or, some fool drama queenWhose chances were few?
That brings us to who we needA place where we can saveA heart that beats asBoth siphon and reservoir
You're a woman, I'm a calfYou're a window, I'm a knifeWe come togetherMaking chance in the starlight
Meet me tomorrow nightOr any day you wantI have no right to wonderJust how, or when
You know the meaning fitsThere's no relief in thisI miss my beautiful friend
I have to send it awayTo bring her back again.
