A little more of a pop feel to this one. I like it, I hope you do too.

Lyrics © M. Buettner 2024

Evening falls, the herald calls to gather.
Castle walls and banquet halls and hearth fire
Glances slow and whispers low exchanging
Plans are laid to satisfy desire

Shadows loom, across the room I see you.
Steady gaze reflects the blaze behind me.
I know your name, your bloody fame, your power;
Knew somehow your cold eyes would find me.

Come tomorrow, we will ride together
to the forest where all secret lovers go
Come a day, you will betray my love
Tell your lies now,
and take me even though I know

Let me sing to you my king tonight
Let me play a magic song for thee
Smile your smile at this romantic conquest
All the while, it's you who long for me

Come tomorrow, we will ride together
to the forest where all secret lovers go
Come a day, you will betray my love
Tell your lies now,
and take me even though I know
