Morning Song

Let the phone ring Let's go back to sleep Let the world spin outside our door You're the only one that I wanna see Tell your boss you're sick, hurry Get back in, I'm getting cold Get over here and warm my hands up Boy, it's you they love to hold And stop thinking about what your sister said And stop worrying about it, yes the cat's already been fed Come on, darlin', let's go back to bed Put the phone machine on hold Leave the dishes in the sink Do not answer the door It's you, that I adore I'm gonna give you some more We'll sit on the front porch The sun can warm my feet You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream I'll drink my decaf herbal tea Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met My you remind me of a man I used to sleep with That's a face I'd never forget And you can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin Except this time, it'll be even better We'll stay together in the end Come on, darlin', let's go back to bed Put the phone machine on hold Leave the dishes in the sink Do not answer the door For you, I'd be a poor man's wife I'm gonna give you some more Let the phone ring Let's go back to sleep
