Time takes care of the wound So I can believe You had so much to give You thought I couldn't see Gifts for bootheels to crush Promises, deceit 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 Come thief who stole from you Or some fool drama queen Whose chances were few? Love 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 more 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
