Breakfast At Dani’s

But she’ll tell you you’re not so good for her

She wouldn’t be there if it could be that you were

- Nick Drake

Breakfast At Dani’s

(Cebuliak)

All you’ve got now are those memories

Little bits of paper that you can’t believe

You’ll still find yourself searching for the one

She said would shine as bright as the sun

 

 

The scent of candles on your skin, the sound of music from within

Things I would have loved to find if only I had seen the line

But instead I made excuses for my past abuses

I couldn’t whisper the words in time for us to rhyme

 

 

So when the night

Closes in real tight

You don’t have to make it right

If you believe in

 

 

Breakfast at Dani’s, in spite of everything

Knowing that you’d lost her gave you somethin’ bittersweet to sing

And even through the heartache, Sunday mornin’ never felt so good, so

Breakfast at Dani’s, gave you somethin’ you never knew it could

 

 

So many months have passed since then

So many other hearts have been lost since then

And even though I’ll never really know who she spoke of

I think if I had my chance again, you’d be the one I’d love

 

 

But now the verses that I wrote mean more than the autumn in your coat

Or the way the raindrops rippled in your eyes

So while time wore down your disguise

You’re still the answer I’d like the questions to

 

 

So when the night

Closes in real tight

You don’t have to make it right

If you believe in

 

 

Breakfast at Dani’s, in spite of everything

Knowing that you’d lost her gave you somethin’ bittersweet to sing

And even through the heartache, Sunday mornin’ never felt so good, so

Breakfast at Dani’s, gave you somethin’ you never knew it could
