After the Party Is Over

Wineglass stained red red-rimmed eyes needing sleep After the party is over the patrons depart leaving behind memories Did anyone know why they were there? Well, the question didn't arise the revelers danced for hours later the moonlight was blocked by clouds don't try to explain this late at night words fail us after the party is over we'll take a deep breath and head home a starlit sky awaits us don't be fooled by the sighs in the air the party was sufficent in its time Now we walk a perilous path which leads us to a new morning somewhere near the sun
