"A Midnight Summer's Dream"

A beautiful girl's lips pout
As the cigarette burns
And my interest ignites

I drift away
Lose myself of it

The hero saves the dissheveled youth
Taken from the grasp of the drunken witch
Rescue, it comes of small cars, and big hearts

Lost in talk
To hear her voice a comfort
In the blink of an eye she's there

I am nieve
Brown long eyes and hair
Scent of wildflowers
Fills the air

Sleeping next to icy affections
Burns the heart
And makes a lonely stranger's hands
Grow colder

Would you give it all?
Yes, for I had nothing to give
Many days of searching
For knowledge
With my eyes clouded

A night alone
Close to death
Feeling and thought
Become clear
A rain drop falls
From my tearcloud

Doubt is a burglar
That robs your temple
Of love and trust

As I awoke
The midnight summers dream
Had been ended by me

So quickly it began
And so ended
With a final kiss

Goodbye.
