On holiday whilst in South Zante
My uncle is caught ‘in flagrante’
Found in the jacuzzi
With fat floozie Susie
He’s no chance of coitus with aunty!
Aunt Bertha's quite livid with Mel
She kicked him out of their hotel
The lowlife, the fool
Now sleeps by the pool
Aunt certainly made his life hell!
Alas, as I leave you alone evermore
Breaking my heart, I must walk out the door
Church bells are ringing this cold monday morn
Darling my heart be all broken and torn.
Eternal peace I pray comes to you
Forever my darling, my love will be true
Graceful and elegant the way that you sleep
Heaven awaiting, your soul safe to keep
Intimate secrets alone we two shared
Joyful and tender, of eachother we cared
Kindred spirits entwined like a thread
Lost count how many times I should of listened to my head.
Maybe it's best that my heart spoke so loud
Now that my love is a face I seek out amongst clouds.
Over the skyline and each break of morn
Promises kept, from dusk until dawn.
Quaint and essential like breathing fresh air
Reassusring to know, though not seen you are there.
Someday reunited together once more
Tomorrow's awaiting through destiny's door.
Understand? Not really, why your life slipped away
Vengeful and angry, what more can I say?
With eyes seeking answers I humbly pray
Xexon your demeanour in every way.
Youthful forever in my heart you'll remain
Zante, the coffin where you rest free from pain.
