Total Eclipse of the Heart

Where for art thou my handsome prince
seeking gold on a night like this
Hidden beneath the pale moon sky
under shadows of black and white

Do you search for your maiden fair
the one with lilies in her hair
Or do you wish for other things
a horse perhaps on tethered strings

Have you seen all the stars tonight
writing your name with candlelight
Look how they twinkle just for you
as my heart creates songs, in blue

I dance towards the midnight sea
which plays our sapphire melody
And wait in silence for your kiss
wrapped around the total eclipse
