The Sleep (part two of a continuing saga)

And Jane lies sleeping like a child…

The sun is hours from even showing its face
He gathers all his clothes up for a silent and hasty escape
He’s had enough of this and he’s getting out now
Won’t even leave a note since she should know the reasons why

And he dresses in the hall and makes his way to his car
Starting up the engine he finally smiles as he departs
Maybe he’ll find happiness without some woman named Jane
She’s sad all the time he’s there and he can’t take any more of that game

And soon the sun will rise up in the clear blue sky
And light the smile he wears as he drives on by
He’ll pack up all his things and won’t be here anymore
He hasn’t got a lot to pack so he hits the door

And he’s free
And he’s happy at last
And he’s gone
Won’t even think of the past

And Jane is still just lounging in her empty bed
When she woke up he was gone and she just couldn’t have cared less
She’s finally made happy just from getting some real sleep
She’s glad he ran away or there would just be another scene

She finally rises up and makes herself a hot cup of English tea
And sits there with the window open just to catch the freshness of the breeze
She’ll shower soon and dress and go to see the town anew
Through brand new eyes she’s going to see the sights and she knows that she’ll feel good

She’s feeling new
She feels like living
She’s feeling happy and feeling free
Like she could be anything she sees

They both have seen the sun come up
What happens when it falls down?
Will joy stay on to light their ways
Or will the old unhappiness return with scowling frown?

Not a soul knows
