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
