Morning theft

from I dig for gold by a Singer of Songs

/

lyrics

I’ll take all I can
With the first light on your back
The hairs on the pillow
The empty glass
I’ll rummage silently
Through the napkins beside your feet
The words you wrote
I’ll take with me

Morning theft
Then down the stairs from thee
Morning theft
In a plastic bag I breathe
The scent of you and me

So I took all I could
The ashtray, a pencil butt
And a T-shirt
A faded message on the chest
The door shuts quietly
You turn, you yawn, you sleep
The sunlight still on you
I couldn’t steal

Morning theft
Then down the stairs from thee
Morning theft
In a plastic bag I breathe
The scent no longer on me

about

a Singer of Songs Barcelona

I sing songs and if you want, you can listen.
