Blink

a touch that was familiar
a virtual paradise
how many ways you've known me
before beginning to think twice

your voice once sang a love song
the music sweet and low
the whispers of suggestion
it seems now long ago

looking back and wondering
when did it all go wrong
one minute you were with me
I blinked and you were gone

now you sing a new song
the lyrics much the same
the chords you're playing different
as you sing the same refrain

in the ebony recesses
the shadows of your night
do your thoughts divagate toward me
while she lays by your side
