Your Love Leaves a Mark on Me

By the hallway light I can track your silhouette Dressed in your nightgown Bare feet on the cold ground you move With the grace of a routine To the dawning of the day And I find your book Dogeared on the bedspread Incremental progress I faithfully record this with a mark And the grace of a routine To the dawning of the day Your heartbeat insistent like the drums of war And I love you like a sailor on some bombed out distant shore Like the fading blue tattoos that cover his arms Your love leaves a mark on me I go back to sleep Cus I don't work til later Humbled by the knowing That I am undeserving of this love And the grace of a routine At the dawning of the day Your heartbeat insistent like the drums of war And I love you like a sailor on some bombed out distant shore Like the fading blue tattoos that cover his arms Your love leaves a mark on me Yes your love leaves a mark on me
