By Morning

You flicker in the low light
As you cross the room
And find your way back to my bed

Will you slip into
And out of my hands
Tell me
Will this all be gone by morning

You flicker in the twilight
As you sidle up next to me
I listen to you breathe
Mirage or fantasy
(Which will it be)

Will you slip into
And out of my life
Like sleight of hand?
I've tried oh-so-hard
Only to get attached

You couldn't make it easy on me, babe

You've come so close
Closer than anyone before
To unraveling the real thing
To the very core

You came into my life
Like sleight of hand
Try as I might
I fear I've become attached

You won't make this easy on me, babe
I never want to lose you easy, babe
