lyrics

Darling there's only so many mornings

And this man won't ever outrun the sun.

I close my eyes and I waive my tomorrows--

No guarantees when the day is done.



Darling there's only so many mornings

And restless nights are all my patience affords.

A song unsung if I just had you near me

But searching fingers all they find are these three chords.



The dawn will come and the clouds will pass--

I see the mirror in every hourglass.

So why do even the lonely hearts need a fair warning?



Darling there's only so many mornings--

I've had all the dreaming that I can stand.

This mirage looks so much like the future--

With your eyes in mine we will walk this desert sand.



If the stars and that black so great

Convince us both we are the reprobate,

And if your soul yearns more as your body dies, well:

I am your savior and darling: you are mine.

So why do even the lonely hearts need a fair warning?

May we love before the mourning.
