Like Bones

Early in the morning
Before you leave
Just before dawn
Just after a dream

Your eyes barely open
Legs tangled in the sheets
And I've never felt love
So tenderly

And we lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness
And let the time pass

Like a stream
Till it turns us
Back to bones

Your heart it is beating
A rhythm so slow
I'd stay here forever
If you didn't go

Let you rock me to sleep
On your chest, where I lay
Let the light of the morning
Come in through the shades

And we lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness
And let the time pass

Like a stream
Till it turns us
Back to bones

As we lie between
Asleep and awake
A way for the moment
When the dream has to break

I love you just the same
As when the sun dies
But the truest moment
Is when she does rise

And we lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness
And let the time pass

Like a stream
Till it turns us
Back to bones

Early in the morning
Before you leave
Just before dawn
Just after a dream
