In our meeting place I'd wait for you 
You came like the dawn of time 
You brought with you my days of youth 
You gave to me my life's sublime 

We spent nights entwined two as one 
Like sun and moon eclipsed to dark 
And all the light was held within 
Our souls illumined by a single spark 

But as the spark became a flame 
You abandoned ship to return to him 
To go on paying a debt long paid 
And left me drifting in the wind 

Now mornings come like winter's cold 
My pillows molded in place of you 
I long to wake with your caress 
To wet my lips with passion's dew 

You said that he must never know 
About the nights we shared the moon 
You said that you could never leave 
Locked inside your burning room 

Escape into my fold, my lonesome dove 
Let me be your secret nest 
From which you learn to fly again 
Where you can lay your wings to rest
