Stormclouds clutter up the skyline
But they don't bother anymore
We hang our blankets up to dry
Tomorrow night again we'll try
To wander through the drizzling outdoors
Lately I've been left to thinking
These languid thoughts won't let me be
Oh lovely lady long away
I'm speechless, but what could I say
What could I ever say to make you see
Morning wanders through the curtains
The clock stirs and sleep falls away
Stretch kitten-like upon the bed
Open your eyes and lift your head
Let's welcome in another dreaming day.
Oh how all this dreaming leaves me tangled
And in the midst your face is all I see
Sweat upon your body lingers
As I bloody up my fingers
With songs that place you right next door to me.
