Lovers lament.

That night she turned and walked away
Ignoring the yelling of my heart
Beneath the moon she left me still
Her fading silhouette but a memory now

Old ghosts now haunt the sidewalks edge
That night she turned and walked away
And streetlamps pave a luring escape
to lead me on my lonesome way

The barking dogs howl out her name
Buses play jazz with sorrowful horns
That night she turned and walked away
A city of chatter with whispers stood tall

Now left to wander with bitter lament
Beneath the crowds of crystal stars
Scorn upon my eggshell mind
That night she turned and walked away.
