A Moment or Two
Upon your balcony
You see me
Tender evening’s intimacy
Embodies mercy
In a servant’s disguise you flee
Into me
These sad things
Killed our passion with love
A quelled candle in a sleeping tomb
Where flies one lost dove
For a moment or two
Our warring families
Write no treaties
Caressing in summer’s heat
Down our dark streets
Lovers have privacy
When the city sleeps
These sad things
Killed our passion with love
A quelled candle in a sleeping tomb
Where flies one lost dove
For a moment or two
Returned to your property
Because you have to be
An appointment with an apothecary
He charges a flat fee
There should be two moons above the sea
Like your eyes are twin suns to me
These sad things
Killed our passion with love
A quelled candle in a sleeping tomb
Where flies one lost dove
For a moment or two
