Great and challenging prompt! I tried to get as many homophone pairs in as possible and took a less structured approach to the lyrics. "Alone I the streetlight" was on my list from the Titular Muse and it provided the direction for this storyline. Needs a good bit of work, but it's something.

Lyrics:

I stand alone in the streetlight
Cloaked in the smoky mist
Hours pass I this empty night
Have we missed our chance
Have we missed our chance

Clouds seep into the sky
Rain drowns out the sun
There's a storm raging in my heart
Can you hear the thunder
Here it comes

Anguish washes over me
I can't rein it in
Clouds my eyes with mourning
Are you really gone
Is it a trick of the mind

And I'm waiting for this nightmare to end

I stand alone in the streetlight
Cloaked in the smoky mist
Hours pass I this empty night
Have we missed our chance
Have we missed our chance

Morning light dawns
But you're not in it's rays
Regret storms my senses
Memories a tangled haze
I was too weak
Temptation should have spurned
Now I sit in solitude
Lessons too late learned

Days slip by in silence
Turn slowly to a week
This happy home was ours
Now your forgiveness is all I seek

And I'm waiting for this nightmare to end

I stand alone in the streetlight
Cloaked in the smoky mist
Hours pass I this empty night
Have we missed our chance
Have we missed our chance

You get the homophone prize for sure with these lyrics. But also what a start to a song! 'I stand alone in the streetlight Cloaked in the smoky mist'. these are dramatic and intriguing words that make you want to know what happens next. However, the 'I stand alone in the streetlight' suggests a kind of ending. Great work .

Wow, you created an outstanding song with such wonderful images!

Fabulous take on the skirmish with a brilliant song sorry that does a great job using homophones! Love the chorus and the descriptive details in the verses.

What an amazing use of homophones. They are weaved into a full story of hope, regret and sorrow. The vivid images paint a clear picture as I read. Nice skirmish!
