End of day
There’s a cigarette burn in the kitchen table;
The night’s asleep, but I’m unable!
Wine climbs the coffee rings in my cup;
The days are never long enough.
There’s a sunburned body on the livingroom spread;
Emotionally spent with an aching head.
The sink’s full of dishes;
His jeans on the chair;
And yesterday’s garbage is faint on the air.
Phone don’t ring; lady walk light.
My gentle warrior needs sleep tonight.
No guitar, no radio;
No TV, nowhere to go.
The wine is gone,
The daytime ends;
What in his dreams does my love pretend?
Are you child or eagle? Safe or chased?
How many days can the night’s erase?
I protect the child; admire the man;
Love them both as best I can.
But you spin dreams while I’m awake;
that’s magic no one else can make!
In your words and arms I find;
The dreams a young girl left behind.
Daylight, reason, go away;
Leave my love his dreams to play.
