The sunrise evaporates, like water on the ground
and I watch it go from the patio with my coffee & my frown.
The goldenrod is bleeding off, & the blue is seeping through.
& all I wanna do is sit next to you, in the morning dew, to be here
be true
& Oh, how sweet to get what you're due
Like someone hands you a cake and says:
"might as well eat it too."
The sunset disintegrates the horizon never waits.
Another day, gone & done.
Oh how I pity that lonesome old sun as he's going
below the ground!
and if it were you, I could not rescue, I would follow you
I would go down too.
& oh, how sweet to follow through!
Like someone hands you a cake and says, "hey,
you know what to do."
You're all I'll ever want, you're all I'll ever need.
Even when you're not, it's still good enough for me.
And what is a day, but a lifetime in itself....Today
I knew love, & how it felt.
