Sarge - The First Morning

Live version of The First Morning by Sarge, from the album Distant.

Winter's back and the time to part's at hand,
we start to pack we make awkward plans,
but there's not much to say I'll see you in thirty days,
I hold your cat cause that's the closest thing I have to you,
and I think he misses you too (looks like he's going to be leaving me too)

And the first morning seemed so long,
now it's 16 days you've been gone,
we chased from coast to coast,
trans-atlantic calls to mute the panic and try for calm.
And every night seemed like the last,
so that every breath comes tight,
to find our future in past,
a year has gone so fast.

A part of me wondered if you’d figure it out,
a different strength to my gaze, a sweeter taste to my mouth.
From the look in your eyes,
I’d say you picked it up just fine.
I shut my eyes but I can't get you out of mind,
Think I really fucked up this time.

And the first morning seemed so long,
now it's 16 days you've been gone,
we chased from coast to coast,
trans-atlantic calls to mute the panic and try for calm.
And every night seemed like the last,
so that every breath comes tight,
to find our future in past,
this year's gone so fast.

Now every time you touch my cheek I die,
if I could take it back, I would, I'd try
Sure I could get it right this time.

And you can scream on and on and on,
but if you slam the door once more I'm gone.
So why we should we keep on,
pretending everything's fine, nothings wrong.

Try to tell you gently, I can feel us ending,
no more desperate phone calls.. I think we've hit our wall.....
