wake up my darling love
your daring legs were
born to run
from the tangles of your
ever tiring youth

it just occurred to me
if we ever plan to be
anything more than failures
we'd better dust our eyes
so we can see
this is the life
we've waited for
this is me knocking on
your door
this is my attempt
to restore
what i lost

we'd better close our eyes
cover our mouths for just tonight
these plans we've made
are bound to take some time

from a texas porch
we would dream
of a future so bright we'd hope
to see it bleed through windows
like the summer sun
this is the life
we've waited for
this is me knocking on
your door
this is my attempt
to restore
what i lost
with every step
you take I'll be
close as the very
breath you breathe
if you let Me
