The Taxi Ride

It's clear to me now
I understand
A jump of cards in
In an idle man's hand
Oh
Oh you're sleeping
This is the story of your leaving

I can win you with reason
I can make you agree
The way that I love you
It only makes sense that you love me
But down through the sad facts I'm sifting
You did not think this without help from me

I've called a taxi
It's coming at dawn
I said send the best one
It's a long, long, lonely ride
To find the perfect lover for your lover
And the morning light just breaking

I thought I heard someone screaming outside
But it was only a bus pulling away

Love is a strange thing
It depends what one gives
And sometimes to give means
Give someone away
Oh
Oh you're sleeping
The same sad pillow said you're leaving

I move with your breathing
I breathe with your beauty
Your sweet heaviness
Your deep voice your soft neck
I press my face
Did you call me?
It's only the trees outside flailing
It's only the sirens that are a-wailing

Hurry up driver
You're going too slow
Can't you go faster
It's a long, long, lonely ride
To find the perfect lover for your lover
And the morning light is just breaking
