Morning Theft

Time takes care of the wound
 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
 But what am I still to you
 Some thief who stole from you?
 Or, some fool drama queen
 Whose chances were few?
 That 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 have to send it away
 To bring her back again
