A Beauty Blonde Lay The Town To Silence

Forever I’ve sought to know you, beyond a silhouette upon the horizon.
Open your arms to cushion the blow, Open up your heart to Avalon.
Loves cascade forever flowing revels upon the turning of the leaf.
A beauty blonde lay the town to silence. What defence could they utter
Un-able to speak and never to stutter to their relief.
Shutting up shop, pulling down shutters, simply to keep their sight. For the people know that in knowing her form to exist is to lay
Down resistance to the hand of Fate that cuts short the lifeline of a dying name.
In knowing I may never hold her warm, I find no consolations for what optimism can be found in the face of unrequited Love.
All it is I have I would give to spend a moment in your arms.
I’d never do you any harm, for it’s beyond my capabilities.
