Midnights Beautiful Girl

SUMMER NIGHTS QUIET BROKEN BY THE SOUNDS OF VOICES
SOFT WHISPERS BREATHED BETWEEN LOVERS
WAVES LAPPING AT THE SIDES OF BOATS THE WIND WHISTELING IN THE RIGGINGS
I CAN ALMOST FEEL HER NOW


THE FIRST TIME
OUT ALONE IN A CAR TOGETHER
DREAMS SOMETIMES DO COME TRUE
EVEN WHEN YOU’RE WIDE AWAKE

SOFT SKIN GLISTENING IN THE MOONLIGHT
HER EYES SLEEPY
BUT EVERY PORE ON HER BODY SCREAMING AND WANTING
AND ME NOT KNOWING WHAT I WANTED TO TOUCH FIRST


BUT TOUCH I DID
AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND THAT NIGHT LIVES FRESH IN MY MIND
AS I LIE BESIDE HER WATCHING HER SLEEP ALL THEESE YEARS LATER
