Wallingford

I highly recommend the gaze upon his profile at the picture show
Wait for a moment when it’s flickering all about his brow
For in those shadows hide the antidotes to potions taken long ago
And in the alchemy you offered such a sweet elixir
Did you know that you were casting quite the spell
That night in Wallingford?
Oh, that night in Wallingford
I have been known to steal his photograph in rooms where men took often rest
I hold suspicion that he’s keen to all my stratagems and wiles
A nobler king could hold his spemes through these villanellas
I’ll have you know my tongue was dripping to be tied
That night in Wallingford
Oh, that night in Wallingford
That night in Wallingford
Oh, that night in Wallingford
And I will make this declaration:
That darker days we may still abide
If you and I will love through patient eyes
Oh, I will make this declaration:
That darker days we may still abide
If you and I will love through patient eyes
