Love in Autumn Twilight

Me with my book of sadness  
You with your look of despair  
As we walk through the graveyard  
Oh, what a heavenly pair  
Can we stay out and play tonight?  
Forget all the hate and the lies  
Been so long since I looked in your eyes  

Enwrapped in this Autumn sadness  
Helplessly caught in your stare  
The world outside that awaits us  
They're all too concerned with their hair!  
Can we stay up late tonight?  
Live the life that was meant for us  
Been so long since I cherished your sighs  

You are so much more than sadness  
You are clever, kind, and fair  
When you asked for a cigarette  
How I wanted to kiss you there!  
I'll walk you home tonight  
We'll drink whiskey and curse the light  
Been so long since I watched the sun rise!  

In this cold Autumn twilight  
You look so lovely Mourning Dove  
In this world full of madness  
Have you ever been in love?  
With your hand in mine tonight
Lead past willow, oak and vine
How I want you so; Will you be mine?

In this cold Autumn twilight
You look so lovely Mourning Dove
In this world full of madness
Have you ever been in love?
