Drowning

It was always like this
From the day we met
Since I felt your smile.
Not a moment of regret.

Your long and silky hair
Nearly to your waist.
You beckoned
And offered me your taste.

     CHORUS
     In the morning when I see you
     You make me bloom.
     In the evening when we lie together,
     I drown in your perfume.

That smile still as broad
That hair now specked with gray.
A happiness brought forth
When you led me astray.

When I see you sleep,
And hear your quiet sound.
I start to drift off.
To wherever we are bound

      CHORUS
     In the morning when I see you
     You make me bloom.
     In the evening when we lie together,
     I drown in your perfume.
 
     BRIDGE:
       I was always chasing/Afraid of what I’d find
       Wandering aimlessly/I thought I lost my mind
       Moving sideways/Each day as it came
       Then you were upon me/Nothing was the same.

It came upon me all at once
On the train to Monterey.
What had been bits and pieces
That wouldn’t go away.

I suddenly realized,
What you always knew.
That whatever happens.
You will see me through.

      CHORUS and OUT
     In the morning when I see you
     You make me bloom.
     In the evening when we lie together,
     I drown in your perfume.
