TONIGHT

I'll not see you tonight, my love. For you have ceased to care.

I'll not see you tomorrow, my sweet.The love is no longer there.

I'll keep you in my dreams, That's where your love still lives.

Guarded by the fairies, For now it's theirs to give.

They'll give it to the dragons to stash amongst their hoarde.

Across the distant river, Upon the golden shore.

Never for me, No longer for you.

It's the only place our love can live, Untainted by the dew.

Our love couldn't keep us together, my dear,

When your so far and I'm so near.

I'll hold you close one last time,

Now I know you'll never be mine.
