CIt's the tenth of JanuAmary And I Fstill ain't had no Amsleep FShe comes wFaItzing in the nighttime Made of Gwings CShe is dressed up like a Ambandit With a Fhundred sparklingAm rings FLooking fFor my company to kGeep FComing closer to me She dGoesn't say a wCord In the Fshadow of the carved rock Gtower CWhere the sounds of the Amnight FWere the only things we Amheard FIn my Gdarkest Chour
She don't want to hear no secrets She would guarantee me that She knows there ain't no words That can describe her With her white silk scarves And her black Spanish hat She knows there ain't no way I can deny her Yes her blue velvet perfume Filling up the night The guards are all asleep That watch the tower The moon light held her breast As she easily undressed In my darkest hour Her father's in his chambers with his Friends all gathered 'round They are plotting their enemy's demise With their last detail done They await the coming sun While I am staring in my lover's eyes Her brothers and her sisters Are all through for tonight Pretending that they've just Come into power But she far most of all, knows that they Can only fall In my darkest hour Hungry wings; their melodies While my love awakens me In the midst of the sunburst first light Her hands are holding up the skies As I hid my opened eyes Every move just for herself And that's so right Soon I went along my way With no words that could explain As she began descending to the tower Her safety now concerns me Her circumstance to blame In my darkest hour As someone here said before : "Corrections, improvements, suggestions, further questions, lessons, comments, compliments, condolences, greetings, wishes of luck for my upcoming, random thoughts, whatever--all welcome" gil.bates@wanadoo.fr
