Midnight In the Rose Garden

Midnight in the Rose Garden in the shadow of the moons
Shadow well I retrace the paths we used to walk back to
That moonflower covered two story gazebo...I climb the
Stairs again to the top that overlooks the deep and
Dangerous waters of Wauconda Bay that took you away from
Me twenty years ago today...I can feel your presence
All around me tonight and I think I can almost see your
Face in the bright glare of the lanterns light...I
Close my eyes just to open them and see you again...
You reach out for me and I take your hand as we walk
Off into the light together forsaking this God forsaken
Land and we just disappear like two night birds taken to
Flight in the starlight...now there will be no more
Tears here every night around midnight...Midnight In The
Rose Garden.
