The silence of the park
The moonshine after dark
Came to keep her company

The tiny golden cross lay upon her throat
Hands clutching tight her rosary
The rain upon her lips

Eyes opened with a kiss
Just too late for us to see
She sits upon the ground

Face covered by a shroud of midnight canopy
And when the lightning starts
The secrets in her heart

Merge within the rain patterns

And when the shadows fall

The promise of it all is lost inside the tears that linger on
All the things we'd hoped
Would always keep us close

Stand between us now, as fences
The letters that we wrote
Have all gone up in smoke

And now you're just too far to listen in
When all but hope is lost
You believe at any cost

In things that make the living lighter
And when the shadows fall
The promise of it all

Is lying in the bed besider her
