Someone’s Sleeping Lyrics by John Phillips

John Phillips (John, the Wolf King of L.A.) (2006 Reissue)

0

In the morning through my window creeping
Sunlight chasing colors on my wall
And by my side she lay sleeping
Cradled in her antique shawl

Tuck her 'neath my cover
Watch her face settle in my down
I suppose we were lovers
She was good good to have around
Some things are for keeping
Some things are too good and they go

I remember marketplace in Tangier
Standing there beggars all around her legs
And she looked like an angel
From a second story window caught a glimpse of someone's life
And it was mine and my face was dark and dirty and I'd been crying

Tuck her 'neath your cover
Got a love keep her there
Make love all the time
I suppose we all need lovers
And you know everything comes in time
