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, 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
F (high) F/G F/A x2
But what am I still to you? Some 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 into 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 had to send it away to bring her back again
Ab Ab(b5) Ab Ab(b5) Dbmaj7 F (low)
