Drunk on a summer night Happy V day

Drunk on a summer night

You open a bottle of tawny port
when I gaze at the ebbing tides
Inch by inch nightgown covers the fort
Sip by sip we slip into moonlight
My hands too shaky to pour you a drink
but my feet still wobble towards you
Into you my world is to shrink
a world in my arms wavy and true

My head swirls for a pillow
and finds your laps that are mellow
I feel floating in the sleeping sea
a sea of candles surrounding me 
Your fingers comb my hairs
and mesmerizes me like a lullaby
Your breath sweetens the air
and immerses me into a cherry pie

I'm drunk on a summer night
half on the Port wine
half on the candle light
that's flickering in your eyes and mine
