DEAR LADIES OF THE NIGHT
written by Dan Blakeslee

Dear ladies of the night, blue light it lines the room.

By stroke of midnights call, count on the droppin’ ball.



Dear ladies of the night, now higher than the moon.

You’ll guide me while I fly, then haunt me when I lie.



Dear ladies... that tempt me.

You lead me like a pleadin’ vagabond,

And drown me in the pond.



Dear ladies of the night, though my strings you do control,

Your welcome has been worn, and tonight I’ll clip your thorn.



Dear ladies of the night, this web of pleasure is your gift.

One day you’ll lose your grip, and from your shackles I will slip.



Dear ladies... that tempt me.

You lead me like a pleadin’ vagabond,

And drown me in the pond.



Dear ladies... that tempt me.

With venom in verse I’ll add no deceit,

I will now retreat.
