HERE IN THIS ROOM
THIS NARROW ROOM
WHERE LIFE BEGAN
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
LAST NIGHT
I FEEL YOUR BACK
PRESSED CLOSE TO ME
AND HEAR YOUR
STEADY BREATHING
AS YOU SLEEP
THEN AS THE FIRST
SOFT GLOW OF DAWN
MOVES SILVER-GRAY
LIKE PAINT
ALONG THE WALLS
I TOUCH YOUR HAND
AND FEEL YOUR RING
AND KNOW THIS NIGHT IS
ALL WE'LL EVER HAVE
SUDDENLY I LOOK INTO
YOUR SLEEPY EYES
YOU BREATHE MY NAME
AND IT JUST SEEMS
TO DANGLE THERE
THEN I FEEL
YOUR FINGERS
RUNNING THROUGH
MY MIND
JUMBLING UP
MY THOUGHTS
TO LEAVE THEM
TANGLED THERE
I KNOW SO WELL THAT
THIS IS ALL THERE IS
AND WHEN
WE LEAVE THIS ROOM
IT'S GONE
MY MIND IS CLEAR
AS WE WALK DOWN
THE CROOKED
LITTLE STEPS
TO THE FRONT DOOR
A RAY OF SUN
THAT RICOCHETS
FROM OFF THE ROOFTOP
LIGHTS OUR
STUMBLING WAY
I TOUCH YOUR HAND
AND FEEL YOUR RING
AND KNOW THIS NIGHT IS
ALL WE'LL EVER HAVE
SUDDENLY I LOOK INTO
YOUR SLEEPY EYES
YOU BREATHE MY NAME
AND IT JUST SEEMS
TO DANGLE THERE
THEN I FEEL
YOUR FINGERS
RUNNING THROUGH
MY MIND
JUMBLING UP
MY THOUGHTS
TO LEAVE THEM
TANGLED THERE
SUDDENLY I LOOK INTO
YOUR SLEEPY EYES
YOU BREATHE MY NAME
AND IT JUST SEEMS
TO DANGLE THERE
THEN I FEEL
YOUR FINGERS
RUNNING THROUGH
MY MIND
JUMBLING UP
MY THOUGHTS
TO LEAVE THEM
TANGLED THERE
SUDDENLY I LOOK INTO
YOUR SLEEPY EYES
YOU BREATHE MY NAME
AND IT JUST SEEMS
TO DANGLE THERE
THEN I FEEL
YOUR FINGERS
RUNNING THROUGH
MY MIND
JUMBLING UP
MY THOUGHTS
TO LEAVE THEM
TANGLED THERE
