Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe   You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't seek   Gifts for boot, heels to crush, promises deceived   I had to send it away to bring us back again      Your eyes and body brighten silent waters deep   Your precious daughter in the other room asleep   A kiss goodnight from every stranger that I meet   I had to send it away to bring us back again   Morning theft and pretender left ungrateful      True self is what brought you here to me   A place where we can accept this love   Friendship battered down by useless history   Unexamined failure      What am I still to you? Some thief who stole from you?   Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few?   That brings us to who we need, a place where we can save   A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir      You're a woman, I'm a calf, you're a window, I'm a knife   We come together making chance in the starlight   Meet me tomorrow night or any day you want   I have no right to wonder just how or when      And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this   I miss my beautiful friend   I had to send it away to bring her back again
