Morning Song

Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep

Let the world spin outside our door

You're the only one that I wanna see

Tell your boss you're sick, hurry

Get back in, I'm getting cold

Get over here and warm my hands up

Boy, it's you they love to hold

And stop thinking about what your sister said

And stop worrying about it, yes, the cat's already been fed

Come on, darlin', let's go back to bed

Put the phone machine on hold

Leave the dishes in the sink

Do not answer the door

It's you that I adore

I'm gonna give you some more

We'll sit on the front porch, the sun can warm my feet

You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream

I'll drink my decaf herbal tea

Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met

My, you remind me of a man I used to sleep with

That's a face I'd never forget

And you can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin

Except this time, it'll be even better

We'll stay together in the end

Come on, darlin', let's go back to bed

Put the phone machine on hold

Leave the dishes in the sink

Do not answer the door

For you, I'd be a poor man's wife

I'm gonna give you some more

Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep
