Nocturnally Yours

The lamplights of night buzz over my head
as I'm swallowing this feeling of dread
coming over me when I see your smile fade
like autumn leaves after love's downpour made
the world grey, washed away all color
you're off with your new lover
and I look just like a Sinatra album cover
and feel like a trampled puddle
your words written not subtle
and not likely a lie
and not likely am I
ever again to know the dreams you're dreaming of
nocturnally yours, the man you used to love

Hope suffers a downsizing
skyscrapers they eclipse my eulogizing
and my redundant apologizing
to the whispered windy dusk
thought that was your musk
that conquered my senses once again
the shop windows show me now and then
the ghosts of what seems like long ago
a piano note under the neon night glow
I wander the keys down to D
rhapsodizing the glory of adoring
and I sing for the lack thereof
nocturnally yours, the man you used to love

tell me do the lamplights of night look like stars from above?
nocturnally yours, the man you used to love


"Some rides don't have much of a finish;
that's the ride I took." --Gin Blossoms, '29'

I think this one has a great rhythm in it and your feelings unveil powerfully.

Love,
