You Are the Daybreak - Kevin Devine

It’s going straight to my head:

I think I’m falling in love again

Such simple miracles have happened

Since your steady hands have come and stopped my unraveling

Your fingers, built for the piano

Work out the knots that line my back

The stress I’ve stored since last December;

now it doesn’t matter

I’ve learned to leave it in my past

I feel good about the future

And this clarity I’ve never had

You are the bounce in my step, the burst of blood in my chest

The prayer I’ve kept in my head

You are the knock of my knees

The swollen sound of each song

I scribble down and tear up, because they never match up

You are the words I fumble for

In the morning, you are the daybreak

And I’m glad

And at night, you are the dream

I fall asleep to have
