I'D Walk the Naked Miles

What twist of fate has befallen us? When nighthawks no longer soar by day -- Ritualistic measures of time usurps moonlight Where then shall I see upon my love’s face ~ A smile that would light the ancient Nile Oh to feel the warmth of his sweet embrace Dusk be not in such foul temperament.. Let pace of dawn be slow to arise As it steals the warmth of our embrace Oh twilight stars of night twinkle, now As, the nighthawk, pleasures ebony soul For that simple delight, I’d walk the naked miles… Saddened is this heart when we must part Let the setting of the sun come soon Then we shall soar once more ‘neath lover’s moon The watchman comes nigh, careful now we must depart this gentleness – Remember, For that simple pleasure, I’d walk the naked miles…
