The Locket

about

This is an old song for which I have never been able to find a use.

I was experimenting with surprise endings, sort of tough to do with love songs.

lyrics

My love carries a photograph
In a locket made of silver.
It delicately hangs around her neck.
So precious to her is that locket
And the treasure of the likeness
of the man that she loves.

Often in the morning, she can be found
Polishing with a piece of silk
Taken from a dress she used to wear.
Seldom does an afternoon pass,
Where she can't be seen with the locket
Laying open in the palm of her hand.
Every night, before she sleeps,
She kisses her love and gently she hangs
The locket on the post of her bed.

My love carries a photograph
In a locket made of silver.
And the likeness is not of me.
