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 

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.
