about

one of my all-time favorite songs... I hope you enjoy our version of it!

lyrics

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

Your eyes and body bright and 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, unpretender 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?

Love brings us to who we need, a place where we contain
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.
