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
|
Ungraceful
|
|
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.
