Morning Theft - Ane Brun

Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe

You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't seek

Gifts for boot, heels to crush, promises deceived

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 and pretender left ungrateful

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

What am I still to you? Some thief who stole from you?

Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few?

That 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

Meet me tomorrow night or any day you want

I have no 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
