Morning Theft lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jeff Buckley Album: Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk
Lyrics
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, and pretender left, ungrateful 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 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 into starlight Meet me tomorrow night, or any day you want I have no 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
