Morning Song

Let the phone ring
Let's go back to sleep
Let the world spin outside our door
You're the only one that I wanna see

Tell your boss you're sick
Hurry, get back in, I'm getting cold
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy
It's you they love to hold

And stop thinkin' about what your sister said
And stop worry'n about it
Yes, the cat's already been fed
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed

Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore
I'm gonna give you some more

We'll sit on the front porch
The sun can warm my feet
You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream
I'll drink my decaf herbal tea

Pretend we're perfect strangers
And that we never met
My, you remind me of a man I used to sleep with
That's a face I'd never forget

You can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin
Except this time it'll be even better
We'll stay together in the end
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed

Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
For you I'll be a poor man's wife
I'm gonna give you some more

Let the phone ring
Let's go back to sleep
