The Most Dangerous Thing About You

Tonight, I'm hoping to be awake
 I followed your car down to the lake
 We got a table at the old boulevard club
 The waitress offered a smile to your joke in politeness
 You did not know
 You held her talking while I waited watching
 You laid your credit card on the table
 And told me about your bills and the sale of hydro
 The incompetence of your bosses and your lawyers
 And the warming ocean
 I woke up in your life, I was passing behind your eyes
 Before I knew what was yours and what was mine
 I listened, I took it all in stride
 Your ideas and distorted pride
 While learning by heart all your thoughts and your visions
 The most dangerous thing about you, is your pain
 I know for me, it is the same
 It was restless, you felt it
 But never could call it by name
 It was yours for life to have and to hold
 A companion that you had never known
 A shadow you saw but never knew that you cast
 And all of the sadness you can't explain
 Poured from you like a summer rain
 Hand in hand with your child in the morning
