Mourning Morning

(앨범: Overtones - 2007)

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 then 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 blind my eyes instead
I put my memories in a landscape where only reckless angels tread
I watch the fingerprints you left like a secret code 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 [x7]
Have to go again
