Second Lovers Song Lyrics - Our Mother The Mountain - Townes Van Zandt

You're wakin' next to me 

Tears splash across the sun 

You whisper soft to me 

That I ain't the only one 

To breathe your yellow hair 

Caress your bosom fair 

Do you think I really care? 

Do you think it matters? 

What do your feelin's mean? 

Do you think I'd love more 

If you stood pure and clean? 

Of those you'd known before 

Would your words be sweeter then 

Upon November's wind 

If you began again 

Could your smile be softer? 

Would your eyes more brightly shine? 

Would your laughter be so tender 

If you'd been only mine 

For as long as you remember? 

I don't want tears from you 

Don't build your love on shame 

All what we've done is through 

And all we can do remains 

My lady can't you see 

I love not jealously? 

But for all you are to me 

And all you'll be tomorrow
