shaking off unconsciousness
stretching those aching joints
and lifting your eyelids to light
as sunlight begins to stream in
you pull the soft covers down
your sluggish mind begins to wake
as you slip from the bed to the floor
reaching over a kiss to my head
you whisper good morning
then I role over again to sleep
as you leave me in the dawn
to begin the daily drawl

your sluggish mind begins to wake
as you slip from the bed to the floor
reaching over a kiss to my head
you whisper good morning
then I role over again to sleep
as you leave me in the dawn
to begin the daily drawl
