courtyard

said he'd build me a courtyard

he promised he would

and spend time in my courtyard

whenever he could

in the corner

a tall tree

so shady and cool

and a white marble fountain

in a clear sparkling pool

a lovely stone courtyard

with a lacy iron gate

and a bountiful garden

where i could wait

yes

he built me a courtyard

like he promised he would

and i know that he'd come to my side

he would if he could

patterns on a courtyard floor

illusions of all i'm living for
