night shifts
the song of love’s lost mistress is sorrow
just a longing of what should have been
the mists swirl ‘round eternal yearning
desire’s longing still glows from within
the wee firefly’s light is always the strongest
in shadows where memories are kept
his voice in the whippoorwill entices
where lantern flickering silhouettes have wept
her teardrops blend with the muddy river
those teardrops that just can’t find a cure
she misses the arms of his offered daydream
since he died on that far away shore

in shadows where memories are kept
his voice in the whippoorwill entices
