Hungover Dawn

Under the stars on the porch in the hungover dawn When the eyelids are heavy with cold iron dreams But still wide open, they wouldn't miss the sun When the pink pale morning bursts at the seams And you let the seconds pass between you and no one And the seconds pass between you and no one You reach for the skies, with your pleading eyes But the skies are empty and your prayers are vain So let me take off that shirt of yours God may be somewhere just next to you And everything lies still in the tortured beauty of life With the occasional feeling, warm & haunting feeling That i actually love people and i'm glad that i'm not alone And the sky's sticking out its tongue at you Such a great empty space making faces at you And you let the seconds pass between you and no one And the seconds pass between you and no one You reach for the skies, with your pleading eyes But the skies are empty and your prayers are vain So let me take off that shirt of yours God may be somewhere just next to you
