I Refusing To Cry, You To Ever Yield

I Refusing To Cry, You To Ever Yield I never went into your dark room never saw your silent rage In my mind your cannons never boom nor does your face ever age I never felt your lonely trance never saw you naked in a cage In this dark world you truly dance with the melodic words of a sage We never journeyed to the Keys never saw that perfect moonlight In your gaze rested your pleas to be so closely held at midnight We never lived in each other's dreams never wept to the same sad tune Side by side we waded cool streams yet we never wed in early June Our days, were they numbered badly sunburnt harvest stripped from the field Was it destined to end that sadly I refusing to cry and you to ever yield Robert J.
