in the moments just as dawn discovers the sky and lays a ****** kiss on the ancient alter of a soft sea's sandy beach the rain sweeps away the dust from my eyes washes away the thoughts that long held me to these broken stone halls and sets my soul to this candlelight flicker in the warm tradewinds that so entice you and leave you in the raptures of her arms but she is a mysterious song her tale full of the spice of the east mythology's full of the heat of passions found at the end of many roads when all desperations and desires have parted leaving only the bare soul leaving only the true words written in your heart there in the flickering candlelight in the warm tradewinds heading east towards Madrid to her her words reaches through the tumult of the sea thick and rich like a wine and with the velvet softness that only a woman's voice can give and forgetting yourself you turn the tiller setting course for Madrid and the destiny of roses in flickering candlelight
