Long about a sunset stroll
your shaded heart did I behold
as waves ran deep
and skies above
wrapped my mind
in the mysteries of love

Your pleasing smile
my breath it held
and all the while
the oceans swelled
For in your grasp
and beauty deep
my broken heart
began to weep

The spell of ages and this spark
set my feet to embark
and then to search
for the answer to why
my heart could doubt
the world in your eyes

Perhaps the pain
had sunk in too far
and love seemed vain
and hope was marred
For hell had broken
the better days
of promises spoken
in naive ways

Yet if the all consuming flame
burns away the restless shame
Can love be found once again
in places unexpected?
and can I find in you a friend
and relax this heart so protected?
