I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked over this dark haired beauty was there
She said ’Please would you help I think I’m lost and I’m going nowhere,
I’m looking for something I can vaguely remember from back in my past
And if you refuse I’ll just say I’m confused and that I’m sorry I asked.’
She looked like a waitress in her tight fitting red dress and a flower in her hair
She was lush and curvaceous and I tried to be gracious and tried not to stare
I said ‘I have to confess I can’t promise success,’ she said ‘We’ll give it a try,
You look like the kind if man that I can trust,’ I said ‘You’re being too kind.’
There was moonlight and roses in what I supposed was a mystical dream
We heard a wild marching band she took my hand started dancing with me
She said ‘My name is Havannah but you can call just call me Hannah that’s what I am to my friends,
Some say it’s my story I’ve got no history but I’m making amends,’
I said ‘I’d like to think it wasn’t only the drink that drew you to me,’
She said ‘I don’t think so but tequila’s a killer so there’s no guarantee.’
She said ‘Let’s go to the mountains,’ and I wondered how this journey would end
When we were caught in a storm I warmed her body with only but only as friends
We spoke in rhyme for most of the time it just seemed easier that way
And poetry seemed the best way of saying what we wanted to say.
There was moonlight and roses in what I supposed was a mystical dream
And it may be imaginary but she had the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen
We travelled to Yerevan she said I was the man she’d been looking for
‘You may think I’m crazy but I know we’ve been lovers in a lifetime before,’
I said ‘Don’t get me confused I’m just getting used to you being here with me,
Tell me were we together for ever and ever or was it just a fling.’
By the old caravanserai she took her hand in mine and gave me a kiss
She said ‘Close your eyes I’ve got a surprise are you ready for this,’
I stood there waiting, anticipating what the future would be
And when I looked around all I saw was the sight of her smiling at me
And the night was alive from the stars in her eyes and the warmth of her smile
She said ‘I think I love you,’ I said ‘Don’t be hasty we could wait for a while,’
She said ‘Time’s not on our side, I want you tonight will you lie here with me,’
And in the morning she was gone like she’d never been born ‘cept in my memory
There was moonlight and roses in what I supposed was a mystical dream
And it may be fantasy but I believe she’s still here with me.
