Sienna

You can’t sleep at night sometimes the cats fight out on Abbey Street
Sometimes the windows rattle as wind blows through the alleyways
We’d been sat awake for a while till you began to fall asleep
And I watched the skyline outside as it fell into mornings reach
Talk and laughter had ceased, like a last day before war
And what came after was a kind of peace that I’d never felt before
It was a moment immortalised, a portrait in time
Destined to reside within the corners of my mind
Oftentimes in my life when the waters all ran dry
It was but for the thought of you I would have laid down to die
I would of made for the door and chosen to surrender
If you weren’t all that I could remember
It was the same year that your navy dress started fraying loose at the seams
Becoming just as worn as your favorite blue jeans
The dawn came in impatiently racing to devour
And we just lay so lazy as we both staved off the hour
The walls were so defenseless against the streaks of the sun
As it poured in unrepentant; seeking anyone
Then you started to waken, like a child from a dream
And I touched your arm softly as you rose and tried to leave
And I said settle down my lady you’ve been working too hard
Why don’t we just lay here straight from morning through dark
Instead let’s make plans for whatever, Paris or Vienna
We said we’d have it all don't you remember
