I Want To Wake Up With You

Standing on the corner in the rain

Looking up at your window again

A long time ago, another life and

Though not a boy, barely a man

"Just bring whatever you hope to find"

So, I brought my soul and a bellyful of wine

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up

Outside

Wind soughing through the leaves of

Silver birch and copper beech

Inside, candle shadows, discarded clothes

Incense curling around the bed posts

Bodies bared, confidences shared

You held my eyes, we longingly stared

We just wanted to get higher

Sleepless, before the fire

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up with you

I want to wake up

It was also the year I learned summer never really ends

It just moves elsewhere

That falling out of love

With its soul-searching cleanse guides us gently into prayer

I got what I wanted but I lost what I had

Nostalgia’s got this habit of blowing back

You've got to bring whatever you hope to find in life

As well as in kind

I want to wake up

I want to wake up

I want to wake up

I want to wake up

I want to wake up

I want to wake up

I want to wake up

I want to wake up
