Serenade

Darkness falls

Around your window pane

A light still burns

But just a smouldering flame

Is it the end of another affair

An open engagement with gloom

Or will you be smiling

When the sun conjures up

A broken spell au clair de lune?

Silhouette

As you draw the shade

Cloak of night

You know it's tailor-made

G-Plan gymnastics

By an everglow fire

Could never mean the same

As summer enchantment

By an old mill steam

From courtly love to costly game

Maybe I'm wrong for seeming

Ungrateful, unforgiving

Oh how it hurts now you're finally leaving

I couldn't take anymore ...

Now's the time!

Let's hide away

Sacred hours

Saved from yesterday

Boo-hoo willows weep around you still

Mirror reflections of dew

But waterfall pages of an open book

Could shower new horizons soon

Call the tune

Will you swoon

As I croon

Your serenade
