Mutterings of a Love-Sick Before Bedtime

Sat in the darkness with shadows as companions, so hush
But why is the soul inside so tempestuous
Can not you hear it, hear it?

Stood in the balcony with the wind in my hair, so carefree
knowing my love awaits around the corner, in another street, another country
can I steal you away for just a moment, a moment?

Went to a distant countryside to watch the stars
Away from the city, the madness and all its cheerless farce
But why am I away from you, from you?

Want to see the sunset, fill the horizon in its fiery mess
Want to drink it all with you but will you say yes?
I know the answer but I still ask, still ask

I look back I see darkness, I look forward I see confusion
Life is sad so can I borrow some happiness, some elation?
I promise I’ll return it, return it

I’m intoxicated by your affection, I want you to see
I want your golden brown body giggle close to me
I’m in love with you and myself, you and myself

One who is much missed, I know you are far from me
But when I close my eyes and think of you, Oh how you call to me
And I wait, wait for the day you’ll take me away, take me away
