Tonight, I'm hoping to be awake I followed your car down to the lake We got a table at the old boulevard club The waitress offered a smile to your joke in politeness You did not know You held her talking while I waited watching You laid your credit card on the table And told me about your bills and the sale of hydro The incompetence of your bosses and your lawyers And the warming ocean I woke up in your life, I was passing behind your eyes Before I knew what was yours and what was mine I listened, I took it all in stride Your ideas and distorted pride While learning by heart all your thoughts and your visions The most dangerous thing about you, is your pain I know for me, it is the same It was restless, you felt it But never could call it by name It was yours for life to have and to hold A companion that you had never known A shadow you saw but never knew that you cast And all of the sadness you can't explain Poured from you like a summer rain Hand in hand with your child in the morning
