Lambs

	We woke up raw from two hours' sleep
	We blinked like owls & stretched our feet
	The face on the wall says, "oh, you've changed —
	You're a million miles from your desperate days"
	We kissed so warm that my skin, it smiled
	I watched your face through my half-closed eyes
	The day was new but the story old
	And we already know how the end unfolds
	That's why
	We are keeping our heads clear
	That is why
	We are holding ourselves here
	And I'm sorry that I've curled into a ball you can't unroll
	That I buried my head behind a red brick wall
	But led like a lamb you'd have died in my hands
	That's why I know you'll understand
	I saw myself in the way you paused
	The way that we laugh when we are not sure
	We've pressed our lips to another's cheek
	But it makes no difference & it brings no tears
	And I often think that we are not made
	To be neatly positioned in each other's way
	And I won't join those who do not wait
	For they commit their love to an early grave
	That's why
	There's no weeping in my ears
	That is why
	We will taste the coming years

	We woke up raw from two hours' sleep
	We blinked like owls stretched our feet
	The face on the wall says, " oh, you' ve changed
	You' re a million miles from your desperate days"
	We kissed so warm that my skin, it smiled
	I watched your face through my halfclosed eyes
	The day was new but the story old
	And we already know how the end unfolds
	That' s why
	We are keeping our heads clear
	That is why
	We are holding ourselves here
	And I' m sorry that I' ve curled into a ball you can' t unroll
	That I buried my head behind a red brick wall
	But led like a lamb you' d have died in my hands
	That' s why I know you' ll understand
	I saw myself in the way you paused
	The way that we laugh when we are not sure
	We' ve pressed our lips to another' s cheek
	But it makes no difference it brings no tears
	And I often think that we are not made
	To be neatly positioned in each other' s way
	And I won' t join those who do not wait
	For they commit their love to an early grave
	That' s why
	There' s no weeping in my ears
	That is why
	We will taste the coming years
