when i watch you sleeping theres nothing that you hide when i smell you breathing theres a sweetness from inside and when i feel you stirring and the day is about to break outside wings are whirring and the sky is there to take i wonder how i got so close to you and see the chances that you take without thinking im going there too these are the promises you make when your eyes are blinded by love and the history of fate when i hear you purring like a kitten and a lion and i feel your softness how you got it without trying then you roll and tumble with your dreams still holding on and i hear that rumble in the stomach of the dawn today i paint my masterpiece tonight i trace my tears thinking through the road i took to you and where i stumbled through the years today i paint my masterpiece tonight i trace my tears thinking through my path to you and where i stumbled through the years thats when i knew id never hold you down repeating old roads and fears  now the crows are calling and the blackbirds sing in my ear you got one eye open and im smiling through my tears but youll never see them they re inside with my fears in a place thats fading away and taking on new years1
