Until the Morning

Until the Morning Don't bother looking for a chair Just throw your coat down anywhere I'm sorry I'm so poorly dressed I gave up hoping for a guest You say you've got a weight to bear A cross you carry everywhere I say I know, and it's not fair I tell you, you can leave that here I had always wondered how you carried all that grief I know It wasn't right I know to saddle you with mine And my life my identity I Lay them at your feet and stand here broken in the mirror of your eyes The old prayers written on your skin Claim you were meant to live in sin They're singing mass out in the yard They heard that you're the one I want I'm about to burn alive you still won’t look me in the eyes I'll turn the light out if you want If you feel safer in the dark I came to you an orphan but I'm leaving here a thief if I can only find the door I'll go tonight. And my past and my future I left them in the street in the hope you'd let me come inside
