Quarter to Nine

Slow
To trust
But a-weak
To kisses
And clasping your hands
In mine
Anxious, weary
And resting in arms
Drinking
'Til quarter to nine
It’s
Not easy
To wake
And to walk
Out the door
To be
And to feel
For I’ve
Found somewhere
To rest in your arms
In peace
'Til quarter to nine
Sleep
Seems a burden
We don’t dream
The dream of children
So I
Stay anxious‚ weary
And resting in arms
Drinking
'Til quarter to nine
Slow
To trust
But weak
To kisses
And clasping your hands
In mine
Anxious‚ weary
And resting in arms
Drinking
'Til quarter to nine
Drinking
'Til quarter to nine
