Mourning Morning

I'm gonna blind my eyes instead
It's another mourning morning
But I know you have to go

But I know you have to go
I really want you to stay
But sometimes it doesn't show

I really want you to stay

I washed two cups and then remember

I really want you to stay
And I can still hear your lazy symphony
But sometimes it doesn't show
A gilded crown won't make a king
But I know you have to go
But I know you have to go
But I know you have to go

I really want you to stay

I really want you to stay
But I know you have to go
Where only reckless angels tread
I really want you to stay
Indentations in my pillow
My duvet's laid out like an atlas
It's another mourning morning

They say the devil's in the detail
I hope won't fade with time
That you've left already

I really want you to stay
Like a secret code upon my skin
And just when I think I found my calling
Have to go again
I put my memories in a landscape
And watch the fingerprints you left
I used to have the strangest dreams
Smoke the roach left in the ashtray
I really want you to stay
But I know you have to go
But they don't come here anymore
Let the conversation flow

But I know you have to go
Like mountain ranges on a floor
I really want you to stay
I really want you to stay
I really want you to stay

I let you go so reluctantly

I pick my way through crusty dishes
I really want you to stay
And their greasy chemistry

And I remember when you told me
On which I choked the night before

But I know you have to go
But I know you have to go

Stubbed my toes on dirty clothes
I really want you to stay
I let you go so reluctantly
But I know you have to go
And just when I think I found my calling
And I can still hear your lazy symphony
I really want you to stay
With stains to mark the borderlines
