Fickle Friday: Crack the Shutters

LISTEN TO THE SONG

You cool your bedwarm hands down
On the broken radiator
When you lay them freezing on me
I mumble can you wake me later
But I don't really want you to stop
And you know it so it doesn't stop you
You run your hands from my neck
To my chest

Crack the shutters open wide

I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays

Tangle up around your face and body

I could sit here for hours

Finding new ways to be awed each minute

'Cause the daylight seems to want you

Just as much as I want you



It's been minutes, it's been days
It's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow
Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in naked slumber
I dream all this again

Crack the shutters open wide

I want to bathe you in the light of day



And just watch you as the rays

Tangle up around your face and body

I could sit here for hours

Finding new ways to be awed each minute

'Cause the daylight seems to want you

Just as much as I want you
