Hannah & Maggie As You Wake
I am waiting for the sun to rise
And the rays to creep up your face
I am hoping, when you open your eyes
They will smile and crease as you wake
Give me ten more seconds of this time
While the world can wait, patiently in line
Until my creaking in the hall
Will tell it it can have me now
And I'll hold even tighter than before
The sense of everything alright
Having just been washed ashore
And I'll gather my things
To leave outside the bedroom door
When the fall does come, we will open our hearts
And we'll gather the leaves like they're waste
And we'll live our days holding on to the sun
Like a life that's about to change
Give me one more hour of this light
While the warmth and the glow still put up a fight
Until the leaves are gone
And winter can take us where we stand
And I'll hold even tighter than before
The sense of everything alright
Having just been washed ashore
And I'll gather my things
To leave outside the bedroom door
Give me twenty more minutes in the day
And I'll write poetry and songs to blow you away
But I guess for now
I'll just work with the seasons as they change
And I'll hold even tighter than before
The sense of everything alright
Having just been washed ashore
And I'll gather my things
To leave outside the bedroom door
