Limoncello After Dark

Summer on the coast

Lemon blossom in the air

Strangers holding hands

At the start of their affair

I watch the sun go down

Like it did on my heart

No where left to go

But limoncello after dark

Watching the local men

Wondering what it’d be like

To pick one of them up

Take them to my bed tonight

But I watch the sun go down

And ease my broken heart

Sitting on the coast

With limoncello after dark

Lovers on the beach

Walking hand in hand

I watch them disappear

Down amongst the sand

Do you remember once

Back then at the start

You took me by the hand

And then we drank limoncello after dark

Summers passing on

The lemon blossoms no longer there

Strangers shouting in the street

At the end of their affair

The sun is finally setting

Like it did on my heart

No I’ve only memories

Of limoncello after dark
