(of) Two girls I meet One tells me of the past I see She is no longer opaque to me Drinking down tomorrow's memory I've spoken twice in shallow tones Of love's cruel mystery Of orbits victim to decay And the grace of the bullet shot my way Our truths are incompatible But I fear you less than life Lived in a dream for two Lost to this world without you And my friend's friend She aches inside With a bittersweet That her beauty hides My friend's friend She aches inside And the saddest taste Haunts her eyes Day into night Night into dreams We darken the windows We seal the seems For an hour more Of a false twilight For an hour more Of our lives tonight
