Dear Willie Nelson—I wrote these lyrics. They have no music. Help.


Unveiled

FIRST VERSE

I met you in the moonlight

Your eyes reflected stars

You spoke to me in sonnets

You drove a fancy car

You made me dream of diamonds

And carriages of gold

I never saw it coming

Till you left me in the cold

CHORUS

Your cover is blown; your halo has slipped

The silver darts that pierced my heart were all poison tipped

Your motives were daggers like thorns on a rose

I am heartbroken, but you are exposed

SECOND VERSE

Your venom was mixed with honey

Your blade was sheathed in silk

The curdle of your darkness

I mistook for chocolate milk

How could I know your evil

When kindness was its screen?

I am heartbroken

But you are clearly seen

I don’t need the sun to glow

or the moon to hide the dark

I don’t need a light to show
Your love shining in my heart

When the day has lost its glimmer

And my eyes fail to see the stars

I will close my eyes and remember

This tender love of ours

Chorus

I’ll use your eyes for my mirror

Your fingers for my comb

Your arms can gently hold me

And where you are will be my home

Verse 2

The table is set for one

Beside me an empty chair

I cannot find my glasses to confirm that you’re not there

We are parted for a moment

But time is now my friend

I’m counting down the hours

Until we meet again
