Longest Night-Pantoum

Lovers' Swing

The whole night I am awake
Thinking of when we can play
Near the swing beside the lake
Hear every word that you say

Thinking of when we can play
With you my baby, I cannot wait
Hear every word that you say
Before you grow old, it’s too late

With you my darling, I cannot wait
Longing for your warm embrace
Before you grow old, it’s too late
See that sweet smile on your face

Longing for your warm embrace
Now that for two years I’m away
See that sweet smile on your face
God knows, and to Him this I pray

I long for us to be alone
Near the swing beside the lake
Until the day I’m finally home
The whole night I am wake
