All For You

 I will come for you in the midnight hour

I will come to lead you into the night

I’ll lead you to a field bathed in moonlight

And let the seeds of love burst into flower

Up towards the heavens we cast our gaze

To see the stars painted across the sky

You feel my heartbeat and I hear you sigh

Both imprisoned in a romantic maze

Alone with each other: Two hearts smoulder

The world has stopped just for us it would seem

Close your eyes my darling and claim a dream

Your hand on mine, your head on my shoulder

There may as well be none else in this world

Take my hands in yours – watch this love unfurl

The Siren

Hearing timbers creak from a ruined ship

Flat on my back looking up at the stars

Cast adrift with nothing left within grip

Nursing a heart cut with a hundred scars

She sits on a rock in the pale moonlight

She said sweetly she was waiting for me

Across many dreams and many a night

I, no one else, was her one and only

I tried my best – I did – to cross the rift

But destiny decided where I stay

Did she notice when I was cast adrift?

When she’s never to be touched who can say?

Her song will go on for eternity

As she continues on waiting for me
