Tears gushed in warm streams br br And puddled on the open book, br br I felt the evening scurry into the br br Dark cave of night. br br br br I tried to grasp a handful of sunlight br br And place it upon the puffed out candle br br As the sun appeared to self-destruct br br In the wake of our widening distance. br br br br Pain melted like icicles, br br Waters moved, colours returned br br To the wishy-washy groove br br Recovering from a harsh winter. br br br br I never felt lonely under the shade br br Of your affection, lest your absence br br Was announced, and the bridge br br Of silence shuddered by your whines. br br br br Believe me the curtains would never br br Fall on this play, the song will never die br br And I shall never quit the stage lest br br The heavens conspire.
