Tonight at noon, tonight at noon
When we meet in the midnight hour,
I will bring you night flowers (coloured)
Like your eyes
Tonight at noon, I’ll touch your hand
Held for a moment amongst strangers
Amongst the dripping trees
Country girl
Walking in city squares in winter rain –
Walking down muddy lanes or empty streets –
Arranging a time and place to meet –
Tonight at noon, you’ll feel my warmth
You’ll feel my body inside you
We’ll be together for hours
Time and tears –
Won’t wait for evermore
For the time is now –
And now is the time to explore
Why waste the world outside
When you’re sure
