On a mornin’ like a weddin’ day

Surrounded by my head

I awoke to falling back again

Alone upon my bed

And I try to find a reason why

You vanish in my mind

You don’t know me

On another midnight aeroplane

When dreaming’s gone for good

In Chicago, Reno, all the same

Turn ‘round and wish you would

And I try to find the reason why

You’re dancin’ in my mind

You don’t know me

You just know love

And in them stars

Another bar

I stumble, tied in two

And you sing it

All my memory

I can play it once for you

When I close my eyes of poetry

You gave to me that day

And the words you wrote upon the page

Believe until they break

Well, I try to hide the reason why

When all I do is lie

You don’t know me

But you still love me

And I know love

I know love

I know love

I know

    I could sense a slow beat of a drum, and the rhythm of chords on a guitar whilst reading your lyrics. It's a beautiful piece, that has the potential to be turned into a song.
