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.
