Sicily Fading
I dreamt of a night now fading
spent beneath clear sicilian sky
against a cypress wet with dew
Recollected memories of days
spent playing tag in rows of olive trees
falling into each other arms open
and rolling in pastures beneath the moon
Love was born and we nurtured it
with sweet white wine and mysticated nights
That dress, her skin, cascading cedar ringlets
How the light played in her eyes, I will never forget
I sit back now lost in thought
And light another cigarette
I dreamt of a night now fading
spent beneath clear sicilian sky
against a cypress wet with dew
Recollected memories of days
spent playing tag in rows of olive trees
falling into each other arms open
and rolling in pastures beneath the moon
Love was born and we nurtured it
with sweet white wine and mysticated nights
That dress, her skin, cascading cedar ringlets
How the light played in her eyes, I will never forget
I sit back now lost in thought
And light another cigarette
