To a Lark I Still Love

Coded Version:

(A) (lark) still sings and whispers in my ear
Of day(s) when (va)l(id) happiness still ran
Ram(p)ant across our (l)iv(e)s without (a) (s)ingl(e) fear
That ti(me) would separate two con(join)ed hands.
Ye(a), s(in)g(ing) (st)il(l), (ever) willing, remind
Me with your harmonic tunes of my (bliss)
That haunts my soul, because still left behind
Are the memories of love, like our first kiss.
(What) fate awaits this broken, lonely soul
Who waits for the lark's tune to set him free?
(Do) I wait for (you), lark, to make me whole
Or must I suffer for eternity
Alone to (think) and never hear you sing
About my past you keep under your wings?


Regular Version:

A lark still sings and whispers in my ear
Of days when valid happiness still ran
Rampant across our lives without a single fear
That time would separate two conjoined hands.
Yea, singing still, ever willing, remind
Me with your harmonic tunes of my bliss
That haunts my soul, because still left behind
Are the memories of love, like our first kiss.
What fate awaits this broken, lonely soul
Who waits for the lark's tune to set him free?
Do I wait for you, lark, to make me whole
Or must I suffer for eternity
Alone to think and never hear you sing
About my past you keep under your wings?

This is sweet. Are you a hornioligist? Sorry, wicked sense of humor here. Look 007 if you're gonna write in code then you gotta give the decipher on every one. Can't go scrambling all over the show, you know. Otherwise, excellent fun.
