Part IV: Morning In May

Your socks on the wood floor

the moment I'd hoped for

I'm terrified to think you might be real

I curl up behind you

fit my body to yours like a shell

I smell your ahir, oh love, I can't believe you

I squeeze you to make sure you're really here and I'm overwhelmed

[CHORUS]

I've been waiting for so long

to touch you and sleep in yours arms

and now as my heart's beating so hard

I hold on and keep you at home in my arms

They tried to console me

but you're all the consolation I ever needed

years of smelling the clothes you left behind

The photographs that seemed so far away

I don't need them now-you turn to me alive, awake, and blinking, baby

"Back so soon?" you ask, but I smile 'cause I never left at all

[CHORUS]

You check the clock, it's time to go

You grab your keps and you're out the door

I step outside and you're waving goodbye

It's all happening again like before

as you're starting the car and I'm tearing inside

I knock on your window, you stop just in time

Around to the other side

I say, "Baby, I thought I'd come along for the ride."

I've been waiting for so long

(Time slows, and I take your hand)

to touch you and sleep in your eyes

(I hold you as we lose control)

Together our hearts beating so hard

Hold on, bab,y we're almost home
