A Parting Night
Far away in the sultry night
A horn impatient blowing
Conscience delayed the vulture's flight
The heart's intent is knowing
And the candles left still burning
And the song is playing softly
O bed with comfort conspiring
To break a heart ungently
Far away in the sultry night
Love is conquered and decieved
The luscious apple brims the sight
And sorrow's pale web is weaved
I know you would not stay for long
I felt your heart receding
You could not dance to just one song
Go down, your car is waiting.
