Morning Theft- Jeff Buckley

"Time takes care of the wound so I can believe"

I saw a very close friend today that I thought I had lost forever.  We had a really weird falling out and I truly believed I would never see him again. But I saw him at work and it wasn't awkward at all! Just like the old days.  It's amazing how things can prove you wrong.

This song is perfect for my friend and I.  I have always associated this song with him.  It just really fits our situation.  Plus, it is one of my favorite Jeff Buckley songs.  The lyrics are amazing, it is so beautiful.


Time takes care of the wound so I can believe
You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't see
Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived
I had to send it away to bring us back again
Your eyes and body brighten silent waters, deep
Your precious daughter in the other room, asleep
A kiss "Goodnight" from every stranger that I meet
I had to send it away to bring us back again
Morning theft, and pretender left, ungrateful


True self is what brought you here to me
A place where we can accept this love
Friendship battered down by useless history
Unexamined failure


What am I still to you
Some thief who stole from you
Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few
Love brings us to who we need
a place where we can save
A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir
You're a woman, I'm a calf
You're a window, I'm a knife
We come together making chance into starlight


Meet me tomorrow night, or any day you want
I have no right to wonder just how, or when
And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this
I miss my beautiful friend
I had to send it away to bring her back again
