lyrics

I knew her well
She was sixteen, I was twelve
Through heaven’s breeze and lilac trees
I met her glance
As she pursed her lips at the drinking well
Oh I could tell
She’d always be
The song, the sky, the vision of my heart

I’ll not forget the day
October of thirty-eight
I turned the dial and faded smile
When I heard the news
Of the martians plan to seal our fate
With heat rays
And tripods strange
Still my fear of death
Could not remove her image from mind

I ran at once to find
My darling Adeline
To speak her name without restraint
Confess my love
Warn her family of the threat above

On peering in I saw her undergown
On barest feet she danced the crickets proud
My presence sensed the doorway soon defined
With questioned look my darling Adeline

Oh when she asked my name
I stood in silent shame
But seeing clear the danger near
I spoke at once
But when I cried “the end of days”
She didn’t faze
Nor find it strange
Then with kindest eyes
She kissed me on the cheek and ever smiled
