Had happy Mornings...but once in awhile...so do mournings...
Making the most...still sometimes...at a lost...
One moment overjoyed...the next...feeling the void...
Wiping out fears...yet often, can't control the tears...
One day face the world bravely...then later feel weary...
Trying so...

Your name brushes like silk wind through my sapphire skies
Echoes distant across aegean waters burn flames of desire
Striking with the force of midnight lightning blazing my fire

You said that I was someone you'd deplore
I pleaded and begged for you to turn around
