Awaken
Feeling serene in a crowded hotel
Leaning in close to drink in your smell
Afterwards walking home into the night
Not really caring that there’s no cab in sight
Watching you smoking there in our doorway
Tasting a dish that we’ve cooked your mum’s way
Feeling our lives getting always more entwined
Knowing the innermost workings of your mind
These are the things that waken my heart
And they sustain me whenever we must part
They form a precious thing cupped in our hands
A life formed together, a future that we’ve planned
Your loyal dresser parked by our bed
Twenty years old and missing a leg
My wooden shelves holding all our books
The signs of our union are there in just one look
These are the things that waken my heart
And they sustain me whenever we must part
They form a precious thing cupped in our hands
A life formed together, a future that we’ve planned
