SOS Sixty seems so old Oland was a time long ago Sweden still sleeps in my dreams So young so sweet Old dreams run in retreat Songs like lovers never last Vanished love, island breezes Vanquished lovers, sins drown, nothing pleases Gone is the desire Gardens die inside of Swedish winds Gentle thoughts tossed into trysts seas Tales of lore from distance shore Another chance, the dice never win Camisoles and lingerie Oh my love, you captivated me Maidens I would always toss to the sea Frost could not kill the call of drummers doom Another song, another story of a lovers end Beware the maiden, ships sailors will tell Breasts heave in sadness of autumn leaves Allay my fears with illusions trumpets Death dances, life runs to another day Quebec was the shores of Swedish fantasies Winter winds brought things to an end Taking love could not prosper, when love won’t bend Inside the pain, doomed us the broken hearted Another day, another dream Knowing love was so departed Memories wrapped and folded in the drawer Knowing death was welcome and so regarded Youth no longer dances on this shore Solitude was the only game in town Obituary would be my fame thus drowned Smiles forgotten, my love for her never waned Notes: Due to some confusion, I changed the last verse and fixed a few things! The suicide was mine, but only poetically! :)

Is the picture of a woman who died, Arthur? It seems a tribute to her or to her memory as she grows older. Yeah, I am over 60 now . Ugggg, but thanks for what you said to me today. this was an interesting one. THis is the line that stood out for me: Memories wrapped and folded in the drawer

Superb crafting of a sad romance. Love gives and it takes away. One must feel rue love and the weight of it when crushed to ever think of ending it all. Glad you do so only in poetic verse my friend! A7

Agnetha Falstog, the first word in each verse is the names of Abba songs, and Abba itself! :)
