early in the morning before you leave just before dawn just after a dream our eyes barely open legs tangled in sheets ive never felt love so tenderly 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 bone 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 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 bone as we lie between asleep and awake i ll wait till the moment when the dream has to break i ll love you the same as when the sun dies but the truest moment is when she does rise 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 bone
