Lyrics

Twilight lady beckons the night
With her mysterious smile
Frowning at the moonlight

She bled her stream of consciousness
All over my twisted dreams
Only darkness lies down next to me

Now I see how the sun tricked me
How the roses lied
How the rainbows left me high and dry

Longing for a melody to hit me from behind
I’ll shower it with harmony
Wrap some words around it

I know your blood runs wild
You think bitter is beautiful
Imagination is the last frontier

Now I see how the sun tricked me
How the roses lied
How the rainbows left me high and dry

I saw a snowflake kiss the ground with gratitude
As I danced a jig with Frosty the Snowman

Awakened from my sleep by the mid-morning sun
Puddles lay still and Frosty is no more

Now I see how the sun tricked me
How the roses lied
How the rainbows left me high and dry

I still feel your body heat
Roaring through my veins
But, oh, my dear, I know it’s just a dream

My poetry of loneliness
Searching for a rhyme
But running out of time

Now I see how the sun tricked me
How the roses lied
How the rainbows left me high and dry
How the rainbows left me high and dry
