Jeff Buckley - Morning Theft lyrics

Time takes care of the wound Or so i can believe You had so much to give I 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 Set this love free Friendship battered down by Useless history An exam in failure 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 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
