Crack of Four

Crack of four in the morning, crack open the door.
It’s a head, it’s a clock, it’s a man alive and more.
It’s a wonder, it’s a marvel. It’s a miraculous thing
to come home in the evening and find your man sleeping
.
(Chorus)
Jeannie’s gonna come home all alone tonight.
No cat in the back. No cops and making all the green lights.
Yes, she will. Yes, she will.

I catch your eye. I catch my breath. Catch myself thinking thoughts.
No, no, no! Yes, yes, yes! I’m crossfired and caught.
This power that compels me is impossible to fight.
I lose my grip and let it slip. My guard falls down tonight.

(Chorus)

Crack of four in the morning. Crack open my eyes.
An empty glass, an open book and a pad and pencil bed side.
I turn the page. It’s open space. It’s possibility.
Arms open wide I run outside and breathe in all that air for free.

(Chorus)

Annette Wasilik BMI
