Baby I been up since dawn
I couldn't lie there and listen to you breathe
Couldn't listen to the rattle and whistle
Working these days through you and me
Your snore scratching the air, like a discourteous bear
Your fangs and your fur are easier to learn
But I could not lie there

Later I walked the city with you
When I am old I'll remember the city
I will remember you too
I'll remember you how I found you, simply sitting down to you
Tell me what to do, tell me what to do
It's hard to learn

I stayed up writing a letter about my only recurring dream
The one where my guitar melts when I sing
And my fingers just sink in the strings
I write my sadness and I erase
I don't want to worry you babe
I will put my arms around you
I won't leave you how I found you
Your snore scratching the air
The girl before, that discourteous bear
Your fangs and your fur are easier to learn.
