Last Wistful Rhapsody
Wrapped in watchful consoling arms of a silver lingering moon
Helplessly succumbing to the blow of a treacherous harpoon
Salvaged every last remaining thought for his heavenly bonnie
Confiding in the stars up above the rest of their love story
Refusing to close his eyes that long to find her exquisite face
And prolong every unfading dream of her seductive embrace
Serenaded with a rhapsody softly playing in his ear
He feels the quietus approaching ever so gently, 'tis near
He releases his miserly grip with no ounce of self-pity
Sets free his soul into the fathomless calm of eternity
