Jeff Buckley — Morning Theft

[Verse 1] Time takes care of the wound So I can believe You had so much to give You thought I couldn't see Gifts for boot heels to crush Promises deceived I had to send it away To bring us back again [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] Morning theft Unpretender left Ungrateful [Verse 4] True self is what Brought you here, to me A place where we can Accept this love Friendship battered down by Useless history Unexamined failure [Verse 5] 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 in the starlight [Verse 6] Meet me tomorrow night Or any day you want I have no right to wonder Just how, or when You know 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
