Lyrics
Like a weight being lifted from years that I’d drifted
Before I came here
There’s a feeling of healing she holds
That keeps me so near
The love that she brought made me think that I ought
To stay for a while
My life ceased to chase when she helped to erase
My sad smile
As I lie her awake and watch the day break
The night is so short
That the morning comes crashing, I’m thrashing
The covers contort
My lover’s just left, I’m bereft of her warmth
She had to go home
To a man she once married, she can’t tarry too long
I’m alone
