Early in the morning Before you leave Just before dawn Just after a dream Your eyes barely open Legs tangled in the sheets And I've never felt love So tenderly And we lay like lovers Lay like stones Lay in the darkness And let the time pass Like a stream Till it turns us Back to bones Your heart it is beating A rhythm so slow I'd stay here forever If you didn't go Let you rock me to sleep On your chest, where I lay Let the light of the morning Come in through the shades And we lay like lovers Lay like stones Lay in the darkness And let the time pass Like a stream Till it turns us Back to bones As we lie between Asleep and awake A way for the moment When the dream has to break I love you just the same As when the sun dies But the truest moment Is when she does rise And we lay like lovers Lay like stones Lay in the darkness And let the time pass Like a stream Till it turns us Back to bones Early in the morning Before you leave Just before dawn Just after a dream
