0:07Time takes care of the wound so I can believe
0:15You had so much to give you thought I couldn't see
0:23Gifts for boot heels to crush promises deceived
0:31I had to send it away to bring us back again
0:39Our eyes and bodies brighten silent waters deep
0:46Your precious daughter in the other room asleep
0:53A kiss "Goodnight" from every stranger that I meet
1:01I had to send it away to bring us back again
1:07Morning theft Unpretender left ungraceful
1:24True Self is what brought you here to me
1:30A place where we can accept this love
1:39Friendship battered down by useless history
1:45Unexamined failure
2:03What am I still to you
2:06Some thief who stole from you
2:10Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few
2:16That brings us to who we need
2:21A place where we can save
2:24A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir
2:31You're a woman I'm a calf
2:34You're a window I'm a knife
2:38We come together making chance into starlight
2:44Meet me tomorrow night or any day you want
2:51I have no right to wonder just how or when
2:57You know the meaning fits There's no relief in this
3:06I miss my beautiful friend
3:14I have to send it away to bring her back again
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 Our eyes and bodies brighten 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 ungraceful 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 That brings us to who we need A place where we can save 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 into starlight Meet me tomorrow night or any day you want I have no right to wonder just how or when You know the meaning fits There's no relief in this I miss my beautiful friend I have to send it away to bring her back again
