Tell Me Eve

Tell me Eve
Why are you so sad?
Is it simply because Summer’s gone
and Fall begun?
Or is it, because you feel
as if you’ve lost a friend?

Tell me Eve
What will you do tonight?
Will you find a lover,
who is not me?
Or will you sleep alone,
as lonely as I am without you?

It’s cold and dark right now.
I remember how we used to talk,
never dreaming it could end.
Where is that faith tonight?
and why am I so sad
because the Summer’s gone?
