Part IV: Morning In May

Your socks on the wood floor The moment I'd hoped for I'm terrified to think you might be real I curl up behind you Fit my body to yours like a shell I smell your hair, oh love, I can't believe you. I squeeze you To make sure you're really here And I'm overwhelmed. [CHORUS] I've been waiting for so long To touch you and sleep in your eyes And now, as my heart's beating so hard, I hold on And keep you at home in my arms. They tried to console me But you're all the consolation I ever needed. Years of smelling the clothes you left behind, The photographs that seemed so far away. I don't need them now - you turn to me alive, awake, and blinking. "Baby, Back so soon?" you ask, but I smile, 'cause I never left at all [CHORUS] You check the clock, it's time to go. You grab your keys and you're out the door I step outside and you're waving goodbye. It's all happening again like before. As you're starting the car and I'm tearing inside, I knock on your window. You stop just in time. Around to the other side, I say, "Baby, I thought I'd come along for the ride." I've been waiting for so long (Time slows, and I take your hand) To touch you and sleep in your eyes. (I hold you as we lose control) Together, our hearts beating so hard. Hold on. Baby, we're almost home...
