Stage Fright

Into the water

Think rubber

As in life-saver

As in love nest

Black rubber

Picture teal sea

As in screen-saver

As in favourite picture

Think summer

Think freak wave

As in blunt ardour

As in cold frenzy

Do you miss me?

Picture seashell

Your pickup from hell

All elusive

Non-exclusive

In the dark night

She pulls her coat tight

Shakes off her stage fright

To dance

And take the final stride

Under a pale light

She's fading from sight

To meet her dear knight

And dance

And take the final stride

Into the water

Think seashell

As in shel(l)ter

As in lost lover

Undercover

Picture side-glance

As in invitation

As in offer

Moon lover

In the dark night

She pulls her coat tight

Shakes off her stage fright

To dance

And take the final stride

Fading away

Under a pale light

She's fading from sight

To meet her dear knight

And dance

And take the final stride

Into the water

In the dark

In the night

She shakes off her fright

In the light

Out of sight

She's taking the stride
