Beneath A Moonless Sky

I should have known that you'd be here
I should have known it all along
This whole arrangement bears your stamp
You're in each measure of that song
How dare you try and claim me now, how dare you come invade my life

Oh Christine, my Christine in that time that the world thought me dead
My Christine, on that night just before you were wed
Oh Christine, you came and found where I hid
Don't you deny that you did theat long ago night

That night

Once there was a night
Beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing
Too dark to even try

I stole to your side
To tell you I must go
I couldn't see your face
But sensed you even so

And I touched you
And I felt you
And I heard those ravishing refrains
The music of your pulse
The singing in your veins
And I held you
And I touched you
And embraced you
And I felt you
And with every breath and every sigh
I felt no longer scared
I felt no longer shy
At last our feelings bared
Beneath a moonless sky

And blind in the dark
As soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart
And saw you pure and whole

Cloaked under the night
With nothing to suppress
A woman and a man
No more and yet no less

And I kissed you
And caressed you
And the world around us fell away
We said things in the dark
We never dared to say
And I caught you
And I kissed you
And I took you
And I begged you
With a need to urgent to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again
Beneath a moonless sky

And when it was done
Before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was
Afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept
And whispered a goodbye
And slipped into the dark
Beneath a moonless sky

And I loved you
Yes I loved you
I'd have followed any where you led
I woke to swear my love
And found you gone instead

And I loved you
And I loved you
And I left you
Yes I loved you
And I had to
Both of us knew why
We both knew why
And yet I won't regret
From now until I die
The night I can't forget
Beneath a moonless sky

And now?
How could you talk of now for us? There is no now
