NEVER ONCE

The light touch of her hair
Coloured strokes from the painter brush
Leaving me even more to care
To hear the freedom hush

Rolling into from the sea
Sailors breath against her skin
Mercy of men who hold the key
Asking for the beggars tin

These dreams of agony and joy
No worse than before
The golden watch
Keeping the time of Masters

I went for a double double
  and saw your visage staring me down
Golden hair reaching to the ground
Yes we loved
Our eyes reaching deep
Tonight my sweet love
We will sleep
Till the morning light of a new day
Carries our story to another
As we stray
For the heart is a sponge of love
That radiates beyond the soul
Listen the soaring eagles
You will hear her voice
It will not disappoint
Yes my love
I will find you again
                 and again
Just as the breath of men
Blows across your flesh
Goodnight my sweet Love
Till we meet again
