Mourning MorningMorning light don't scratch my eyesJust let me wash up on the shore I used to have the strangest dreams But they don't come here anymore My duvet's laid out like an atlas with stains to mark the borderlines Indentations in my pillow I hope won't fade with time Smoke the roach left in the ashtray on which I choked the night before Stub my toes on dirty clothes, like mountain ranges on the floor. I pick my way through crusty dishes and their greasy chemistry I washed two cups and then remember that you've left already. I let you go so reluctantly and I can still hear your lazy symphony And just when I think I found my calling, it's another mourning morning They say the devil's in the detail I'm gonna blind my eyes instead I put my memories in a landscape where only reckless angels tread I watch the fingerprints you left like a secret code upon my skin And I remember when you told me a gilded crown won't make a king I really want you to stay, but I know you have to go I really want you to stay, but sometimes it doesn't show I really want you to stay, but I know you have to go I really want you to stay, let the conversation flow I really want you to stay, but I know you have to go I really want you to stay, but sometimes it doesn't show I really want you to stay, but I know you have to go, have to go again I let you go so reluctantly and I can still hear your lazy symphony And just when I think I found my calling, it's another mourning morning I really want you to stay but I know you have to go [x7] Have to go again |
