moments after the last call

it was about everything i saw

moments after the last call

there was a head with a halo

smiling at me with a soft glow

i thought it was all a tease

but heard myself whispering "please"

it was a lady with a torch

sitting by my side on my back porch

where she said i looked like her dad

which always made her feel glad

and we were alone

like being on top of a king's throne

and the banquet table was all prepared

for anything we might have dared

she told me she wanted something to eat

it wasn't cold but i could feel the heat

starting to rise

and then much to my surprise

she started to laugh

said it was time for her evening bath

it was well-past midnight

and i loved the sight

of nobody around

totally silent except for the sound

of her eating a stolen grape

as we quietly made our escape

all happening before the break of dawn

with all the heavy curtains drawn

in my room

where all the special flowers bloom:

it was about everything i saw

moments after the last call

there was a head with a halo

smiling at me with a soft glow

i thought it was all a tease

but heard myself whispering "please"

it was a lady with a torch

sitting by my side on my back porch.
