Kiss good-bye and goodnight
this my dream and my light
The dusk awaits in solemn splendor
as we who sleep surrender

Morning comes way too fast
and met with smiles at that
Red roses rest on the lanai
like the words between you and I

With careless match we lit this flame
which was our spark and our shame
dewdrops on grass more green
sparkled like the mirage we'd seen

Wrap your haphazard and bedroom eyes
round these subtle little lies
The pleasures outweigh our pain
so let us not here refrain

Sunlight reveals and our sins it shows
so let us draw these curtains closed
Right or wrong shall we begin
and into each other dive deep in

Around my passive and permissive tongue
this dangerous conversation has begun
You are my favorite Achilles heel
and though my demise, at least I can feel
