Morning Theft

Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't seek 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 and pretender 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? 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 And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this I miss my beautiful friend I had to send it away to bring her back again
