Wake Up My Lover Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wake up my lover with the long tangled hair
Wake up for I have arrived
My house is in order and I've done to me
All the things that you said you require
[Verse 2]
Your fearless little man
Has abandoned all his plans
That crumbled the moment that I kissed you
[Verse 3]
On your small, hot mouth
And your downy, brown limbs
Which are hymns to the glory that is you
[Verse 4]
Wake up my lover with the restless hands
That open and close as you sleep
I cut myself away from all the shackles and chains
Now I'm free, but I'm shaky and weak
[Verse 5]
I long to be beside you
I long to be beside you
Make me feel what's going down isn't wrong
[Verse 6]
Open your eyes and tell me
That you will stay with me
Before it really hits me just what I've done
[Verse 7]
You say love is like a fire - well, no it ain't

It ain't like any fire I know
You say love is forever - well, ain't that quaint
Love's forever and then it up and goes
[Verse 8]
So wake up my lover with the caramel skin
I need to disabuse me of all my fears
The accusations, recriminations, the weeping, and the pleading
Are still ringing in my ears
[Verse 9]
Wake up my lover with the curious smile
That plays on your mouth while you dream
I need to be near you again, I need to hear from you again
Tell me we are right and holy and clean
