Not Your Morning

You can have the night. You can't have the morning
That's the line I draw in the wood
Night is smoke and rye and maybe
Morning is a life, and I'm good

Don't wait in the lot like a unfinished sentence
Don't make the sunrise do a job
If we did this right, you'll taste it tomorrow
Without putting your hand on my doorknob

I'm kinder at midnight than I am at daylight
That's not a trick, that's a tide
Love me in the low lamp if you're going to
Don't try me on the bright side

I can be yours for a hour
I can't be yours for a dawn
If that ain't enough, you wanted a wife
And I wanted the song to go on
