Morning Came

I heard types of rain as I lied with my eyes, open I had long turned the lights off, as sleep flew miles from my eyes Love is a wonderful dream, without you, love is a nightmare: With the way I am tonight, I need you as I need love. From the gentle, silent drizzle, mild showers, to small cats, and dogs. Sometimes goodbye we say in most affectionate ways: That day I held your soft palm in mine, You said you would come back to love, That just does not bring you here: that never eases the pain. No never Your letter in my palm, you said you were fine: That you were missing me too; What a beautiful way of feeling something together: I blew the candle down, babe, here I am at the break of day Still lying awake. All the breaks it made as it changed tempo: Your pictures hanging on my wall, your image tattooed on my heart, I lie here thinking so much of you as I lay, awake all through the night Everything here reminds me of something, I really need. The only: I lay here, light trickling through; morning came, I turned the lights off A thousand years ago. Would it not be better if I had not known of this sweetness It is not a wish babe, no: just a lonely pained heart Confused by the need to be loved. Dreaming I could be walking with you, Going through the motions of it all: passion changing with it: By now love we would be muddy, soaking wet, having rolled on and around: I heard types of rain, Lying awake, all through the night.
