There was an Old Man with a poker,
Who painted his face with red oker
When they said, 'You're a Guy!'
He made no reply,
But knocked them all down with his poker.
This morning walking by the sea
Seen a lady, eyes closed
Lonely, lowly, desperate
Soignée but very thoughtful
I got out of there
Afraid of she discerns me

Among the stars, above the sky
  I saw your beauty there
I reached my hand out just to try
  To touch your beauty fair

The stars were shining on your face
  The moonlight as your clothes
I stood up, began to chase
My heart sped up, began to race
You disappeared without a trace
  And I was left alone

Looking up, I thought I saw
  A star fall from the sky
A golden spark, unbound by law
  A fire that’d never die

I watched as you fell to the ground
  An angel sent from God
I heard my heart begin to pound
I looked and looked and looked around
But you were nowhere to be found
  I finally gave up hope

To my knees I fell to cry
  Upon the rocky ground
From behind I heard a sigh
  A soft and saddened sound

I turned around, turned to see
  A shadow in the night
I looked at you, you looked at me
You’d be the one to set me free
I felt like we were meant to be
  Up until you left

Chasing you into the night
  I followed where you went
I wouldn’t let you leave my sight
I’d not go down without a fight
‘Cause being with you, it felt so right
  I’d never let you go

As the sun began to rise
  You stumbled to a stop
You turned to look into my eyes
  My gaze I wouldn’t drop

I watched you as a golden ray
  Of sunlight hit your face
Then you spoke, began to say
Today, right now, would be the day
You would no longer go away
  I’d hold you in my arms

Time has passed and so have you
  This memory lingers on
The words I spoke to you were true
I loved you then, and still I do
Dear reader, I bid you adieu
  I go back to meet my love.

— The End —
