Grand Affair

​

I look back and remember
It was such a Grand Affair
And I’m hostage to good fortune
As it’s no longer there
And the love that I thought was mighty
Has shrivelled into dust
The way that affairs start and end
Are the way I’m told they must
Are the way I’m told they must

​

I can still see your eyes they are smiling
I can still see the gleam in them shine
And your face lights up as I reach for you
And I hold your hands in mine
But your eyes they now are crying
Your tears hurt the most
From the day I touched you at the abbey
To the day we kissed by the coast
To the day we kissed by the coast

​

Your body was warm it was gentle
As you sat astride my waist
I could reach up I could touch you
From your fingers to your face
And as you bent down to kiss me
In me you could confide
And I could show you what you mean to me
When you’re naked nothing hides
When you’re naked nothing hides

​

​I look back and remember
It was such a Grand Affair
And I’m hostage to good fortune
As it’s no longer there
And the love that I thought was mighty
Has shrivelled into dust
The way that affairs start and end
Are the way, I’m told, they must
Are the way, I’m told, they must
