Goodbye To Morning

Don't sing me love songs

You know they make me cry

Don't bring me any promises

You've none I want to buy

Don't send me any letters

You know I never learned to read

Leave them on the doorstep

Sit back and watch me bleed

Bleeding for the sailors

Who never caught the tide

And the wind goes on forever

Tomorrow never dies

And I wave goodbye to morning

And stake my life on land

I was sitting on the doorstop

Watching Satan have his day

It was half past morning

'Fore I tore myself away

I've never looked beyond the mirrors

Of our used-to-be

The gilded edges shadow sketches

In the light of memory

And I found the paint by number

With your name across the top

And the room began to dance

To the spinning of the clock

And I waved goodbye to morning

But I left the door unlocked

Well, the tears flow like wine

And the salt makes you blind

So you beg a little time

'Cause you're choking on the vine

But the words begin to pour

And it feels just like war

And your face is on the floor

And you cannot find the door

And I think I found the answer

Where you left it on the shelf

But it's too late to wonder

If I left it there myself

And the room begins to rock

And the walls begin to steam

And the clock won't stop

And I'm living in between

And I wave goodbye to morning

And stake my life on dreams
