Serenade Lyrics - Roxy Music

Darkness falls 

Around your window pane 

A light still burns 

But just a smoldering flame 

Is it the end of another affair 

An open engagement with gloom 

Or will you be smiling when the sun conjures up 

A broken spell au clair de lune? 

Silhouette 

As you draw the shade 

Cloak of night 

You know it's tailor-made 

G-Plan gymnastics by an everglow fire 

Could never mean the same 

As summer enchantment by an old mill steam 

From courtly love to costly game 

Maybe I'm wrong for seeming 

Ungrateful, unforgiving 

Oh how it hurts now you're finally leaving 

I couldn't take anymore 

Now's the time! 

Let's hide away 

Sacred hours 

Saved from yesterday 

Boo-hoo willows weep around you still 

Mirror reflections of dew 

But waterfall pages of an open book 

Could shower new horizons soon 

Call the tune, will you swoon? 

As I croon, your serenade
