Chinese Whispers
Back drops of tears on black diamond skies,
With a shimmering moon across the deep rise,
A whispering mist rolls over the sea,
Where are you my love, come back to me.
She sits and she waits on top of the hill,
From sunrise till sunset her bones a chill,
No ships in the dock, a ghostly bay,
Bells sing from the harbour across the way.
Patiently waiting for one who is true,
Lonely old lady, her days of blue,
Chinese whispers, people talk,
Of the lonely old lady in the Widows Walk.

published, please email me for details; due to the cost

Tunes....take care when choosing a konji; sometimes it has several meanings---crucial to know for those having it tattooed on themselves :-)
As I shared with J~, the house I grew up in has a widows' walk---overlooking a large lake. I always felt a 'presence' up there, as I climbed through it's open window to read on the roof.
Seems those longings last beyond a lifetime.

He slips in on a skiff, so not to be seen,
Ducking the stalker, who’s eyes are so keen,
He can see her pace with the wind her hair,
Oh MY GOD, that bitch is still there.
One night of romance sealed with a kiss,
How could such fun, end up like this,
Too much grog, and too much said,
Too much flirting, and then off to bed.
Now the letters keep coming, her heart is so true,
But she’s bound to her lawyer, with a blanket that’s blue,
But his skin is so dark, and I’m from the Rhine,
There’s no damn way, that baby is mine.

I wish you had included the pic of her as a young lass that you have here on your profile tho.
Couldn't be done, it was an old scanned pic and the graphics in the
book need to be high resolution.
