Mourning Morning

Morning light don't scratch my eyes

Just 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 the 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 blur my eyes instead

I put my memories in a landscape

Where only reckless angels tread

I watch the fingerprints you left like

A secret coat 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

I really want you to stay but I know you have to go

I really want you to stay but I know you have to go

I really want you to stay but I know you have to go

I really want you to stay but I know you have to go

I really want you to stay but I know you have to go

I really want you to stay but I know you have to go

Have to go again
