the twilight hour

You're laying on your bed And making shadows on the wall. It's almost too hot to move

Outside your window People are driving home from work For the weekend.
But your waiting for the phone to ring. Your gonna tell her exactly what you think.
You practice getting your mouth around the words That explain the way you feel. You've been scared to show your real self In case she doesn't like what she sees. You've been a prostitute to humility. She's invaded your life
And you've got to live apart In order to survive
You were emotionally independent But starved of affection. But now you've been trapped by tenderness And been beaten into submission
It's now way past the hour she usually phones
You've decided not to tell her your little joke. Where could she have got to?Why is she torturing you?
You roll on your side And run your fingers through your hair. Your scared of losing her
And facing yourself.
A red sky at night may be a shepherds delight
But your cutting chunks from your heart And rubbing the meat into your eyes. She can't leave you now. You've given up all your friends. You're relying on her For your independence. She can't leave you here Alone and defenseless. You're relying on her For your independence
(x2)

You're relying on her
