I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So don’t you go and say goodbye,

A tease?
His voice fills with mock offense.
Well I never... If you are going to accuse me perhaps I should try harder.
Her teasing about the blinfold causes his hands to momentarily stop and he comments with an amused laugh.
Perhaps I will just leave it on during the trip it does have an unusual charm about it.

Unusual charm? Maybe for you, certainly not for me!
She says pretending to be annoyed as she folds her arms though there is still a hint of a smile on her lips.
