Clandestine Valentine

Oh my tousled girl
With your gypsy feet
A stranger to the lint brush, it's true
But those dirty feet sport beautiful shoes
So there's no way you can lose

Oh my Clandestine Valentine
We only meet at night
Under the light of a jealous moon
And the next [Unidentified] can't come too soon
Can't come too soon

You shot a flaming arrow
Into the lily field
Athena crowned your head
With a tiara made of stars
Say! how did that feel?

And you're sinking under the weight of your day job
Lost in the dark woods of books
Pulled down by the under tow of tedium
And you're only there because of Tinder and your looks

I chose to make of you a secret
Something hidden, precious and rare
Breaking the vow that I made to my love
It's a sin I know
Now I've shot down the dove

But I couldn't share this one
Although I let her in on the spark
I needed this fire to consume me
And the brighter it burned
The deeper the dark

Oh my Clandestine Valentine
Oh my Clandestine Valentine
Oh my Clandestine Valentine

Oh, where will it end?
