Wide at Midnight

Light legs like films played backwards

Exchanging what we're seeing

Feline eyes wide you are my

Only reason to keep breathing

The hope to sleep in heaven's arms

And wake up naked clinging on

To last evening's magazines

To dry your hair and make you clean

I slept nothing like a rock

Just perched up wasting daylight

I want your swaying to stop

Maybe in the morning you can heal my eyesight

Feline eyes wide at midnight

Keep away from this active breeding

Of dogs like men of mascu--linity used it briefly

Maybe she'll cry to pieces

Piece by piece

Peace you're freezing

The first time you came over I

Watched you so composed on a wire

Then drank you up like summer wine

I watched it flow out your mouth

One time you were my shadow

Love hold it when you're sleeping

You own it oh yeah

Love cut it up, bleeding

You saw your needs

You were saying you would leave

You saw your leads

You would never leave
