about

We sat in the Wein Stube singing “the Black Pearl” and as the sun rose a rainbow appeared in the sky..
Last night of Mythodea – she said that she would finish her shift at the Black Pearl that night at 2am.
When I called... she had finished at midnight…

But I said I would write her a song….

A Year later - she saw the song on Youtube and messaged me "You wrote me a song!"

lyrics

I said that I would write you a song
You said you would finish at two
When I called you had gone but I still wrote the song
this one was written for you ...

There's a world where thoughts and dreams coexist
Where the sky stays a strange magic hue
Where life can be simple and death close behind
Where music can call to the few
I traveled in search of a will of the wisp
A memory hidden but true
I traveled in vain, for she'd flourished and gone
And then in the shade there was you..

I said that I would write you a song
You said you would finish at two
When I called you had gone but I still wrote the song
this one was written for you ...

I sang out my songs in the heat of the crowd
And I watched you as you glided by
The light of the candles brought shadows and shades
And a sparkle to a bright blue grey eye
I saw tables brighten as you gave them a smile
And I hoped you would not pass me by
I played out my heart on the fret-board of life
Though I feared - to catch your eye

I said that I would write you a song
You said you would finish at two
When I called you had gone but I still wrote the song
this one was written for you ...

The warmth of the evening, the heat of the sand,
The smell of smoke burning, the touch of a hand,
The taste of sweet lips, that sears like a brand
A whisper of hope, I could not understand
For I was estranged in a stranger land
With a prospect of love I could never have planned

I said that I would write you a song
You said you would finish at two
When I called you had gone but I still wrote the song
this one was written for you ...

I watched from a distance as you passed to and fro
As night-time replaced eventide
No necklace or garlands upon silky skin
Your red hair pulled backwards with pride..
Your voice it was gentle, your smile was beguiling
If I say I was untouched I lied
I thought that you had not even seen me at all
then you came and sat by my side ...

And I said that I would write you a song
You said you would finish at two
When I called you had gone but I still wrote the song
this one was written for you ...
