The hush falls against the street below
Moonlight touching clouds above
All alone in secrecy she awaits...
Melancholy but eagerly anticipating her love
Tears Fall, salt mingled with sweet liquor
A hand cups salvation, small pearls against a palm
Swallow them like pride and pain
Dear woman, turn up the bottle and find calm
Turn down the bedding and lie in peace
Shed a tear for regrets, and sleep
Soon the tall man in black will hold you
A long desired embrace, you are his to keep
When pale light erupts into the room
You found what you thought a beautiful sight
Drawing your knees up to your chest
To your disappointment, it was the morning light
The promises and desire echo and fade to tears
To your sorrow you realize, just like any other guy
My dear woman, even Lord Death himslef,
Snubbed you and chose to pass you by.
