A lazy sun droops over yon shore
To find me once more
Eyes swimming in the spirit of wine
Seated at the throne of time
And I’ll be here all the while
Across my face a trivial smile
As whispers of your name will find
Ears lent about in kind
Sweet as grapes from the vine
She is delicate bear in mind
Even in the meanwhile
Each day a new trial
As I glance at the skyline
Even in the moonshine
Open the door to your hutch
My gentle heart, just a touch?
Share your life with mine
Let us grow forever with time
Take your smile and lend to me
Have my heart to set free
Bring me back from exile
Let our hearts run wild
When loneliness comes to plunder
Take me away from its thunder
Give my heart a single chance
Don’t pass by upon a glance
Show me how the Lily of the Nile
Can be refuge for the crocodile
