Mark R Slaughter - Sorrow Under Mist lyrics

Mist - Giving wispy vapour to the breath, Cool calm to autumn afternoons, A hovering air of mysticism Over brooding lakes - Was different here, Affording company, closeness - A caring arm around her shoulders. In the eyes, a once-clear oceanic blue Wavered under water - Tears telling torrid truths She couldn't face - Like the glowering image in the mirror You don't see in your mind's eye Of compensation; delusion. We see her sitting on the concrete steps That led down to the dew-laden garden. She's peering up, sensing her diffuse companion, Refreshing in its chill; giving crispness To the stealth of dulling evening. But the bite of air couldn't lift the sorrow Of pale youth in love, Shouldered by a not-in-love and scoffing eye. Rejection hurt; Hurts - Wrenches deep - Emotion that we can't deny!
