when I wake up
in the morning
it's so early
the curtains are dancing
full of
light
my darling is
still asleep
in bed
saliva is
glittering sweetly
on my darling's lips
slowly, I hug myself
with both arms
it's like I was born this morning
a moment on this happy morning
a world where I have just been born
thinking of this happy morning
I wrote this song
packin'
a few things
into a suitcase
I kiss
my darlin' lover
and go out
well, see you later
I'll be back soon
