Greg Brown - Milk of the Moon lyrics

Morning is a siren, evening is a bust Memories fade, pocketful of dust I moan to you like a mourning dove Mistakes are made along with love On the day you opened up the door I saw the future slip away, time is just a who*e If you can get any closer, oh please do I can only dance when I dance with you I'm drunk on moonmilk, I'm high up in the air I know a woman she is silk there and there and there With a kiss she wakes me up, she always leaves too soon As she does she fills my cup with the milk of the moon Open up the window, smell the rain I kiss the pillow where your head has lain Open up your wild and secret heart And your flower, the tenderest part I don't know when we'll meet again Now will have to do 'til then In a bed hot and wet like tears We slept one night for years and years and years I'm drunk on moonmilk, I'm high up in the air I know a woman she is silk there and there and there With a kiss she wakes me up, she always leaves too soon As she does she fills my cup with the milk of the moon Your gifts I'll cherish and I'll save The look I see upon your face is the only thing I crave When you're gone I'll try to get some rest And dream you sleeping on my chest I'll send you songs to carry you to sleep Won't be so long we'll have this watch to keep Loving you is the best I know of home I'll be thinking of you hard hard hard as I open up my arms I'm drunk on moonmilk, I'm high up in the air Oh, woman, you are silk there and there and there With a kiss you wake me up, you always leave too soon As you go will you fill my cup with the milk of the moon?
