A Night On the Beach

The sand still warm beneath our feet
and the tide was going out,
moonlight shone across the beach
dispersing all our doubt.

The scene was set, the time is right
for love to take a hand,
moonlight cast our shadows
as we lay upon the sand.

Tonight will last forever,
we'll make love until the dawn,
you'll be my capricious nymph
I'll be your sated fawn.

I must have fallen asleep
and thought she'd done the same,
but looking round I found her gone
and I never knew her name.
