You woke up with
The taste of him babe
Dancing through your mind
Like you’re together realigned
Those were good days
Watching the sunrise
Thinking you would last
That you could drink away the past
Halcyon morning, Halcyon morning
Hope saw you mourning, Hope saw your morning
Halcyon morning, Halcyon morning
Your glass was empty but I never really saw it full
Blue Martini
Curaçao dream
Looking back on times
You thought you’d made it past the climb
Only memories
To hang your hat on
You chose a charming lie
But now it’s time to say goodbye
Halcyon morning, Halcyon morning
A stolen golden kiss, ignoring all the warnings
Halcyon morning, Halcyon morning
Like azure waters they weren’t meant to last beyond the dawn
Three thousand days back
When you first knew that
You wouldn’t make it
Past two thousand ninety-nine, split
You tried a lifeboat
He wouldn’t paddle
Sinking low you sipped
Another bottle ‘til you ripped
You tore two hearts apart just waiting for the glass
To fill itself with something more than gin and grass
Halcyon morning, Halcyon morning
The wind is calm and you’ve finally found where you belong
