lyrics

Morning will break me
The birdsong too sweet
I cannot emerge
Cannot rise to my feet
Dreams captivate me
But I wake to the cry
Of a lonesome foghorn outside

Leave me as you found me
Don't terrorize this heart
Leave me as you found me
Just leave me and let me be

I cannot imagine a life without you
But you're hardly around anymore
I bury my head in my pillow and weep
The doomsday beat of my heart

Don't leave your rubbish, your baggage behind
Don't leave these thoughts in the back of my mind
Dust off my heart, won't you please just be kind
And let me let you go

Just a warm, easy listen. The love for the songs is apparent. Takes me back to days spent working on my car in the driveway in SoCal. Hope they do another one cause I'm gonna wear this on out. Aloha beauishere
