Buckley Jeff Morning Theft Lyrics

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
