lyrics

FIRST AND LAST
(1989)
The last waking minute of every night
Belongs to you
That daily farewell
That coda to today

I am child-heavy with you
I close my eyes and put myself around you
Easing your body inside mine
And say goodnight

I carry you with me into the blind, dark preface
To tomorrow
Where the first waking minute of every morning
Belongs to you
