I see you in the darkness,
Across the cotton plain,
Peace permeates throughout you,
Your slender fragile frame,
I know i shouldn't be here,
But just can't keep away,
You'll be mine in the morning,
And that's how you shall stay.

The seconds and the moments,
I steal away with you,
Must be some indication,
Must be some kind of clue,
Of hope in my existence,
Of worth in all that's lost,
You'll be mine in the morning,
No matter what the cost.

But this is it for me,
If it all comes crashing down,
There's no security,
Or road out of this town,
A blackened name,
A broken frame,
I'm far too delicate for this,
The first and final kiss.

I see you in the darkness,
Across the cotton plain,
Peace permeates throughout you,
Your slender fragile frame,
I know i shouldn't be here,
But just can't keep away,
You'll be mine in the morning,
And that's how you shall stay.
