Time was when illumed in a maiden sun
a mortal was I and a god was she,
and at the heart of her constellation
gazed I on your beauty sweet Beverly.
I vowed the ends of the earth to follow
your heavenly star wherever it led,
and to sit beside your desk in your glow
but sat my old nemesis in my stead.
Those rosebud lips, long bowed hair, gypsy eyes
rushed my pulse to farthest extremity,
but when the Age of Aquarius dies
lost is all innocence in you and me.
Now I feel my pulse and racing heart slowed
since I followed you home down Valley Road.
