She stole a moment, and a book
to linger in the cool of trees
where not a soul would think to look.
She stole a moment, and a book
and sat beside the flowing brook
where birds were cooing with the breeze.
She stole a moment and a book,
to linger in the cool of trees
With baited breath and hook she smiled,
and with her pole, she caught a trout
The blue sky darkened for awhile
With baited breath and hook she smiled
as raindrops sprinkled all about
With baited breath and hook she smiled
and with her pole she caught a trout
Unleashing joy, and then a fish
she let it go, and watched it swim
It swam away, as was her wish
She let it go and watched it swim
Releasing it was just a whim,
unleashing joy, and then a fish.
She let it go, and watched it swim

The massive ship and hopes were lost
No lifeboats left for passengers
Their lips were blue, skin bit by frost
The massive ship and hopes were lost
Atlantic Ocean not yet crossed
The radar failed, no messengers
The massive ship and hopes were lost
No lifeboats left for passengers

ran the bath and fingers through my hair
I buttoned my blouse and my lip
no longer in love, no longer care
ran the bath and fingers through my hair
wanted to soak away hurt not talk and swear
needed to relax my heart and close the zip
ran the bath and fingers through my hair
I buttoned my blouse and my lip

You made me wait for love and a cab ride.
You refused to return keys and kisses.
You left me broken hearted and outside.
You made me wait for love and a cab ride.
I felt cold tears as I cried and I died.
Leaving me against my wants and wishes.
You made me wait for love and a cab ride.
You refused to return my keys and kisses.
