Love's Too Familiar A Word
I stepped into the room late last night Because late is the time i keep You were sleeping warm as coal In a pocket of comfort and white sheets
But you don't startle anymore when i step into the room Though the hour is later than midnight And neither window can place a moon.
'i missed you,' you say And it sounds like a promise When whispered half asleep Your skin still damp with sweat From thoughts your dreams refused to keep
I follow my memory to a switch on a light Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'shut your eyes' my voice cut short When darkness turns bright
'do you love me?' you say But love is too familiar a word For in this bed 10,000 times a phrase already heard But, 'yes, i love you' speaks my reply Though i know i failed myself and you for not Matching how i feel with words of higher wealth
I know its lonely in the world tonight Because here is more than what's deserved And the imbalance can't be summed in black and white Cause 'love's' too familiar a word.
