dear christine - kerry delius lyrics

dear christine
thank you for your letter and all the news
i’m really pleased every thing’s working out for you, sure
forgive me for not having written for so long
time stands still here
especially in the dry season
it’s so hot
any movement is exhausting
even the africans spend most of the day indoors
or sitting, talking in the shade of the old [fransy?] palm tree
there’s also another reason for my silence
i’m in love
i’ve been unable to think of anything else for the past months
my days are spent longing for light where we can be together
at first, it was so exciting, a secret love
i don’t think either of us thought or even cared about the consequences
we would meet by the river, just after dark
and he would take me along the shore
to a little sandy cove
completely hidden by banana plants and small palms
and there we spent the night
we had other favorite places too
and sometimes he would come to my room
but we always went back to the riverside
we went there last night
and for the first time i sensed a change
we made love
and afterwards he sat for a long time
as though listening
he held me, but his thoughts were elsewhere
whilst i’ve been writing this letter
the southern sky has started to cloud over
i wish you weren’t all so far away
