You foolish heart, demanding far too much
You wanted happiness to last for ever
Or even endless sorrow to last for ever
Your reward is pain that lasts for ever.

Jeremy Sams (b?)

Her lips began to fashion
The smile that once was mine
And tinged with pain and passion
Her dark eyes began to shine.

And as I gazed in wonder
My tears began to flow
I can’t believe that I lost you
So many years ago.

Jeremy Sams (b?)

You’ll lay your head on my shoulder
And gaze at the restless sea
You’ve steered through tide and tempest
What can you fear from me?

My heart is like the ocean
With wave and wind and tide
And many secret treasures
Are lurking deep inside.

Jeremy Sams (b?)

A ghostly breeze from nowhere
Disturbed the slate-grey sea
With each of my boatman’s oar-strokes
The town came nearer to me.

The sun I thought had vanished
Suddenly shone once again
And lit the place precisely
Where once I loved, loved in vain.

Jeremy Sams (b?)

The mist came up, the water swelled
The seagulls started calling
And streaming down your lovely face
Tears upon tears were falling.

I watched them drop on your slender hand
I knelt in shame before you
I tried to kiss those tears away
To drink your sorrow for you.

But since that moment I’m wracked with such pain
All sleep has been denied me
That bitter woman’s bitter tears
Are burning like poison inside me.

Jeremy Sams (b?)

But there’s someone else who stares at her window
He’s wracked with anguish in pain and in woe
How I shudder When, in a flash of moonlight
I see his face, it’s a face that I know.

You doppelgänger so pale and so haunted
How dare you mock my misery?
How dare you suffer what I suffered?
So many nights so long ago.

Jeremy Sams (b?)
