Beauty Falls
Dave McPherson
Do you remember how it felt?
Or did you forget & let the wax melt?
Our secret candle, the wick was too short
The flame couldn’t handle love’s tricks like we thought
Your beauty falls furiously like the sea
Your beauty falls gloriously
Laying upon the settled shingle
Under a moonlit sky in the South of England
You have seen me cry uncontrollably
You have witnessed the sad sorry whole of me
