How dare you sleep so soundly at night
While I lie here wanting you
How dare you dream so softly tonight
While your charms torment my mind
How dare you…
How dare you…
How dare you be so...
How dare you…
How dare you…
How dare you look so...
How dare you drift so sweetly away
When the distance is tearing at my soul
How dare you tuck in your covers for warmth
While I’m sweating in a single sheet
How dare you…
How dare you…
How dare you be so...
How dare you…
How dare you…
How dare you seem so...
How dare you snuggle down in so tight
When my body is wracking in pain
How dare you be the angel you are
And leave me to wrestle the demons
How dare you…
How dare you…

Heh. Thanks, Pat; hadn't thought of that angle, actually. It was originally written from the point of view from someone who was smitten with a beauty he now can't get out of his head, but yours is an interesting take. Thanks for leaving a comment, always welcome. -- David Ian
