Down
South,
I long
Ago
Tasted
The
Sweetness
Of
Another’s
Mouth,
My
Fingers
Stained
With
Wine,
In
The
Days
When
Love
Was
Mine.
I sang
The
Lilting
Song
Of
Yesterday
And
Danced
The
Hours
Away
Until,
With
A
Silent
Shout,
All
The
Lights
Went
Out.
Brief
Down South, I long Ago Tasted The Sweetness Of Another’s Mouth, My Fingers Stained With Wine, In The Days When Love Was Mine. I sang The Lilting Song Of Yesterday And Danced The Hours Away Until, With A Silent Shout, All The Lights Went Out.
