For fun or foolishness, you fall asleep within my arms

Awoken by bird song, their gossiping and judging

And I wonder how they seem so at ease

When all around me seems so fierce

How do you have the love in you

To give so much away?

How do you have the years in you

To gather such a love

To gather such a love?

My conscience is calling, my conscience is kicking

The devils are circling, though why should we humour them?

If she doesn't want you anymore

Did she ever want you at all?

Do I have the love in me

To give so much away?

Do I have the years in me

To risk such a love?

To gather such a love?

And it’s coffee for breakfast, then you really need to be somewhere

And everything is different, but nothing is clear

You trace my cheek with your fingertips

And I try not to flinch
