Your teeth are pearly white with fear,
as if the sound of the drums is all you can hear.
Your eyes are burning like the summer skies,
And I feel it inside of me that we’ll be alright.
The clouds are thinning and fading away
Whilst the sea turns navy then sighs and goes grey.
The sun starts sinking into a poppy-wine red,
Is my love for you now simply all in my head?
The night falls fast, dark and sombre,
But the stars are still shining in curious wonder.
How you stare at me, so cautious yet free,
As I take your hand as you’re looking at me.
