16th July 2003

Your sadness followed me
From your place back to mine
And there was nothing I could do
To bring the sunshine back
Or change water into wine
As we were not alone
For love to be rekindled
From the embers left behind
From the closeness that we shared
For a week a month ago.

What was it I could do or say
The next time I was there
To bring the sunshine back again
And brighten up your day
Which wouldn't be much anyway
As wedding bells shall be a-ringing
Once you left this foreign land
And in marriage gave your hand
To him whom you've been faithful to till this very day?
