A chandelier above the center of the room
Champagne on a silver tray
The smell of sweet perfume
A smile, a wink
To the girl in satin pink
With ribbons in her hair
Standing with a drink
I asked her if she’d dance
It was the beginning of romance
For given half a chance
From what started as a glance

She dipped her toe in the quite creek
To watch the ripples spread
Which ruined her reflection
And warped her little head
The ripples drifted up the creek
They spread out far and wide
And what should have come as a great big shock
Simply came as no surprise

Along the open meadows
Near the trees lined in a row
Horses run and frolic
Like they did so long ago
They’re left alone, and free to roam
On acres of green grass
It’s sure to be, a sight to see
Anytime you pass
They’re big and bold
With manes of gold
They’re muscular and fast
They’re majestic and they’re statuesque
They’re elegant, with class

She huddled in the corner
She cuddled in the sheets
She asked her Lord and savior
If the two of them could meet
She promised to be casual
Quite and discrete
In a proper manner
On a getaway retreat
Just to talk about the weather
And have something sweet to eat
Not to talk about harsh subjects  
That I wouldn’t dare repeat
Or to match wits on a topic
Of which I can’t compete
But rather sit around and get some sun
In the summer heat

In the vineyard of ripe vine grapes
The grapes drape to the ground
They’re fresh and sweet, to drink or eat
And they sell it by the pound
Grapes may come in different shades
In different sizes too
But some may say they’re best with age
Under cork and *****

They continued to play
Though the echoes remained
As a sign of what was to come
They blew us away
As we stood in dismay
Seeing where they had come from
A full on display
Of the trumpet and bass
In a place where blues can be found
The harmonica played
As we clap and gave praise
When the room shook, and so did the ground
As you came near
You could certainly hear
As the band grew increasingly loud
They played through the night
And into the day
Just to appease the large crowd

“I’m afraid of the dark,” she said
As I turned out the light
We’ll disappear, but have no fear
The future’s looking bright
The moon went down, the sun came up
And the light crept through the door
She woke from sleep
Began to weep
When her feet hit the floor
I asked her why it was she cried
And her answer to my surprise
Was that she believed her life was ending
Every time she closed her eyes
I said that sounds ridiculous
As a tear rolled down her cheek
Be strong, I said
And rest your head
And try to get some sleep
