Darkness falls
   Around your window pane
   A light still burns
   But just a smouldering flame
  
   Is it the end of another affair
   An open engagement with gloom
   Or will you be smiling
  
   When the sun conjures up
   A broken spell au clair de lune?
  
   Silhouette
   As you draw the shade
   Cloak of night
   You know it's tailor-made
  
   G-Plan gymnastics
   By an everglow fire
   Could never mean the same
   As summer enchantment
  
   By an old mill steam
   From courtly love to costly game
  
   Maybe I'm wrong for seeming
   Ungrateful, unforgiving
   Oh how it hurts now you're finally leaving
  
   I couldn't take anymore ......
  
   Now's the time!
   Let's hide away
   Sacred hours
   Saved from yesterday
   Boo-hoo willows weep around you still
  
   Mirror reflections of dew
   But waterfall pages of an open book
   Could shower new horizons soon
   Call the tune
  
   Will you swoon
   As I croon
   Your serenade
