JEFF BUCKLEY - Morning Theft lyrics

rate me

(j.buckley)<br><br>Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe.<br>You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't see.<br>Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived<br>I had to send it away to bring us back again.<br>Our eyes and bodies brighten silent waters, deep.<br>Your precious daughter in the other room, asleep.<br>A kiss goodnight from every stranger that I meet.<br>I had to send it away to bring us back again.<br>Morning theft. unpretender left, ungraceful.<br>True self is what brought you here, to me.<br>A place where we can accept this love.<br>Friendship battered down by useless history,<br>Unexamined failure.<br>What am I still to you? <br>Some thief who stole from you? <br>Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few? <br>That brings us to who we need,<br>A place where we can save<br>A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir.<br>You're a woman, I'm a calf.<br>You're a window, I'm a knife.<br>We come together making chance into starlight.<br>Meet me tomorrow night, or any day you want.<br>I have no right to wonder just how, or when.<br>You know the meaning fits. there's no relief in this.<br>I miss my beautiful friend.<br>I have to send it away to bring her back again.
