All Woman Next to You
I watched you
as you lay
Sleeping in the early
eastern light
The urge was so strong
This time I had to fight it
down
Beat it back
To hold you, for just one
night
How can you keep
Sleeping like a child
When I'm all woman next to
you?
I drown
In your energies
As the music pounds my mind
In a room full of people,
You are all I find
When I look up
And the morning
after
You lay sleeping
Like a boy-king
Sprawled across your throne
You won't even meet my eyes
To offer me a bone to chew
on
I could scream
till my face is blue
How can you
keep
Sleeping like a child
When I'm all woman next to
you?
We won't speak
Of this; we never do
One more twisted cigarette
butt
And oh, there's quite a few
Under the carpet this
morning
How can you
keep
Sleeping like a child
When I'm all woman next to you?
