MORNING SADNESS

Tired eyes
Morning sadness
The dawn will greet
Our eyes our eyes...

When peace is joy
Let’s us love again.

When peace is joy
Let’s us love again.

The tangled sheets
Flow around me -
Creases of a greater gravity.

When peace is joy
Let’s us love again.

When peace is joy
Let’s us love again.

As the alarm
Sounds and rings
Of authority
Step right down
Slender soft, slim feet
Touches the ground

When peace is joy
Let’s us love again

And I will rest
With the curse
Of the pillow
Beneath my head
Needing the image
Which makes up my dream.

Yet I feel sick
With the sweet sweet smell
Of percolated coffee
And the stale taste of gin
Lingers and lingers

I learn my hardest lesson
Nothing is free
For I have felt
Some eternal force
Slip through my fingers
Slip through my fingers.
