After your hours of silent slumber
I draw in close before I wake you
Brush your sweet lips with my own
and alone enjoy the moment near you
I close my eyes and inhale your scent
as the night's musk rises from your skin
But you awaken with my face at your neck
and stop me before I can really begin
You just won't have it while you're awake
your modesty just won't allow it
You just smile and joke and push me away
but you smell like sleep and there's just something about it
You kiss me first then call me weird
then head straight for the shower
All over you before you wake
and faint in the sheets after
The smell of comfort and of dreams
a drug that rests the mind
With the softness and warmth of a blanket you want
but will probably never find
The reason I hold you as we sleep
why so close I press
But you don't understand why and of course
you'll probably never guess
