Variation on a Fugue, #3 (Shinkiro)

Goodnight Nobody, say goodnight
Fly with me past the dim streetlight
Over the moon, over the stars
Over the world, over Venus and Mars
Over the lake, over mountains and streams
Over it all, to the realm of lost dreams.
Where nothing is quite what you thought it would seem,
Nobody, enter my eyes, see my dream.
See the fire escape, see the rust on the stair
See the smoke from the sewers, my breath in the air
See me crawl through the window, as if on a dare,
Land in the apartment, so vacant and bare.
Except for a girl in a sleeveless black dress
Who I've ne'er seen, and to that I'll attest

We dance as if we do not have a care,
A slower pace, the melody is light
She is enchanting me, she is so fair.

My mind flies off, into the midnight air.
There are no consequences for this night
We dance as if we do not have a care.

I run my fingers through her dark brown hair.
She holds me close, clutching my body tight.
She is enchanting me, she is so fair.

Her beauty is so dazzling and so rare,
Most would be loath to touch her, any night.
We dance as if we do not have a care.

Again, continued on back of same page.à
I've lost my mind but could not, would not care
I wish that this would never end, this night.
She is enchanting me, she is so fair.

I am hers, she is mine, a single pair.
We slowly dance away, all through the night
We dance as if we do not have a care,
She is enchanting me, she is so fair.
