Eve of the Night

Three hours awake
Wriggling in the space your arms make
Rubbing our feet, awaiting a pluck
Turning away
The sheets wrapped around, just for today
Calling you mine, sure I am right
Hey, it’s alive
Making wind and rain as he describes
Can’t you come over here, to my side of the sheet
Spaghetti and sauce
But I won’t have your socks in my drawers
Calling you mine, sure I am right
To investigate
Or am I too indiscrete
When I feel your heart beating near
Who cares about the time
When the moon’s alight
And our fires align
On the eve of the night
Laying on your pillow
Tryin' to make it clear
When I feel your heart beating near
‘Though I know
I’ve got to let you go
I’m rolling down the road
While my heart beats slow, but
Who cares about the time
When the moon’s alight
And our fires align
On the eve of the night
