Awake now I don't hear the floorboards Creaking as you walk back from the window Or feel your satin fingers Drawing patterns on my back Where I lay dying Without you I'm a child Who sucks the vacant thumb of emptiness Left crying when he has not had enough At the mercy of an empty room Singing verses to some faded wall Confused about a simple thing as love
It's too bad we couldn't stay here Till the clock runs out And falls from sheer exhaustion Or till morning when I watch you As you stoop to pick your things Up from the floor But too soon for us it's over In the shock of the electric lightbulb Sunrise from the ceiling up above As it dangles to remind us Of the spiderweb that binds us And just complicates a simple thing as love
