lyrics
Harlequin At Twilight: Here We Are Again
In this theater tonight
The stage in twilight
Depicts a village far away
In pastoral decay
The players are the same
Five centuries of fame
A romance for the years
Amidst the laughs and tears
And here we are again
Let our merry scenes unfold
So sings the Harlequin
Of lust and lovers bold
Now the trap door has been sprung
A wondrous transformation’s come
And reveals her
Columbine locked in her room
Stares through her window at the moon
Beguiles me
Clowns and queens may dance through the night
Conjuring their tricks by the footlights
But here upon the stage,
The Harlequin gets paid
At twilight
A panoramic sight
Filled with visual delights
The masks are all aface
The tricks are all in place
The actresses are fair
Showing skin as they dare
The heros brave and strong
Their swords are all so long
And here we are again
Let our merry scenes unfold
So sings the Harlequin
Of lust and lovers bold
Golden strands in treacle hair
Floured face and bodice bared
Beneath me
Her dusky mantle she has spread
But not upon her wedding bed
Forgive me
In country matters I can never lie
Her fragrant rural gates are open wide
And when she starts to sing
I’ll take her other ring
At twilight
