lyrics

Sonnet at Sunrise (Un-named/un-finished on the Bootleg)

The sun slants through my window
On a thousand angels' wings
Sets the morning in the dust
Like your gold hair in my dreams

There's an echo gently fading
Of your laughter it might have been
Now receding with my waking
I cannot bring it back again

I'm the dust and dirt my darling
You're as soft as an eiderdown
Press your cool lips against my forehead
Till my rambling runs aground

Can you pick up my broken pieces
Set them gently on your shelf
Can you bring me the love of Jesus
Babe, to save me from myself

You got brown eyes watching the sunrise
Someplace far from this room
I got a two-count heart a-beating
Once for me and once for you

I can't believe the wind ain't roaring
I can't believe the rain don't care
Nah, the morning's just a lover
With the sunrise in her hair

The sun slants through my window
On a thousand angels wings
Sets the warm light in the dust
Like your gold hair in my dreams
