Dawn Oberg - Girl Who Sleeps With Books lyrics

There's an espresso maker where his books used to be On the nightstand on that side of the bed Gets me up at 5 so I can type out some trash silence the monkey, try to clean out my head There's a novel and a notebook and some poetry too On top of covers on the side where he slept Room enough for all of it and me when I crash The floor beneath it nearly always unswept. There is now another bookcase where his bureau once stood Too many pairs of shoes line the wall It's a good-sized room with no empty spaces One would think that I don't miss him at all It's not the life one dreams of but it must be what I chose My boudoir companionship is fiction and prose It's really both as lovely and as lonesome as it looks The nighttime spaces of a girl who sleeps with books
