Half a Pillow

Your morning walks across my night A little square of kitchen light You hold your tea against the phone I hear the city waking slow I leave your side without a crease As if you'll join me in my sleep Half a pillow, all this love An ocean never takes enough Your day begins, my eyes close I keep the half that brings you home You got the job you feared to take I learned to sleep through little aches We saved our change in separate jars For seats beneath the same small stars Half a pillow, all this love An ocean never takes enough Your day begins, my eyes close I keep the half that brings you home A boarding pass beside my bed You sent a photograph and said Don't clean the room, don't plan a thing Just let me hear the doorbell ring Half a pillow, all this love An ocean never takes enough Your day begins, my eyes close I keep the half that brings you home Your suitcase falls, the kettle sings The pillow holds two dreams
