The beautiful woman disappears, br And I’m lost when she’s not here br To recite my name br Like a mockingbird’s refrain. br br Her sweet words echo in my brain br As I gaze out midnight windows br Following the path br Of the gently falling rain. br br It is my soul that exists br Between the spaces of her heartbeats, br And her breath is my perfume br When flowers fade in a sunlit room br And I’m facing certain defeat. br br I’ve forgotten my home br To linger for a moment in her eyes.
