Morning Theft

Time takes care of the wounds

So I can believe

You had so much to give

You thought I couldn't see

Gifts for boot heels to crush

Promises deceived I had to send it away

To bring us back again

Your eyes and body brighten silent waters deep

Your precious daughter in the other room asleep

A kiss goodnight from every stranger that I meet

I had to send it away to bring us back again

Morning theft

Unpretender left

Ungrateful

True self is what brought you here, to me

A place where we can accept this love

Friendship battered down by useless history

Unexamined failure

What am I still to you?

Some thief who stole from you?

Or some fool drama queen

Whose chances were few?

Love brings us to who we need

A place where we can save

A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir

You're a woman, I'm a calf

You're a window, I'm a knife

We come together

Making chance in the starlight

Meet me tomorrow night

Or any day you want

I have no right to wonder just how, or when

You know the meaning fits

There's no relief in this

I miss my beautiful friend

I had to send it away to bring us back again
