Shut your eyes to good mornings
Through the whispers that you hide
I'll be open when the sun comes up
To greet your sad green eyes
When the starlight bleeds into
The darkened patterns of your life
I'll surrender all my triumphs
To the war I just can't fight
She'll only like it the first time
Romance is a short-lived sham
She'll only fall for it one time
Let her sleep, go sit on the dam
I love her
I love her
I love her when the dawn
Of the morrow comes
I'll be gone
So gone
