Mayfair strange across the park In the day or in the dark There's no need to walk or even run Mayfair faces clean and nice But beauty here is cold as ice Could it be we see the Mayfair sun?

Mayfair calling far and near For even trees are wealthy here Could it be we hear the Mayfair rain? www.TAB6.com
