Daybreak in Tokyo
Slip between the sheets Warm still From the soul that's been In my thoughts and on my lips Touched my skin And kissed my cheeks My conscience drifts from then to now Then you were here and here is now You wrap your life around me Cocoon me in your arms Cushion my head beneath your own And bless my silent dreams. I kiss your eyelids as you sleep, Wonder how I came to be The girl that put your heart to rest And now I lie awake alone And you're so far away I drift back to the moment when The sun came up and drenched the room With the morning haze and April hue And as we lay in a warmth of our own I thought to myself, Have I found my home?
