Distant

Just a tear drop more shed for the one I hold dear does she know that it's she I adore even when she is not near A wish silently left aloft nothing more than a wistful thought such a friendship forged in a bond so soft that it is all a man like me has sought Laid to rest upon a bed of clover rose petal satin and silk sheets pulled over o' what dreams such a beauty has dreampt and it's with her that I wish I slept But she sleeps alone tonight, as do I under cold stars this night, as I lay here and sigh What lonely sleep takes me in its stride I rest without peace because she is not by my side Alas, the morning is short in birth and I look ahead for all that it's worth with the day comes her waking grace and maybe there's hope to see her face
