I dip my pen into the inkwell of your rejection And pause a while lest the bitterness overflow You know it's been lonely without you No one could quite make the moon shine like you used to Remember how we used to enjoy nightfall While crickets chirped and the mosquitoes would sting Back then before the nights were this dark And a cup of Nescafe held tight was like heaven in our hands You know, the neighbours still put that bright light on Which used to shine in our faces and take away the darkness As it shaped itself around us and made the shadows fall away Back when the simplest pleasures were the most important things Well, this small town still follows the same old routine And though the crickets still chirp and the mosquitoes sting Nightfall has never been the same ever since you walked away The darkness remains, but the tenderness is gone |
