He took the risk
Upon a whim
And with a tear
They buried him

What you see in the mirror
Is not you... 
What the mirror sees
is you

The gentle breeze caressed her

as she lay upon the beach

and the arm of the ocean

stretched its hand but could not reach

 

The moonlight shined down on her

lying there upon the sand

and some proud forsaken lover

was the one who held her hand

 

And the night air smelled of death

from the wilted rose that lay

held by a blood stained hand

on the beach of Murder Bay…

I have a love that I can’t show

it must be hid away

It means the world to me

it’s name I cannot say

It’s not because of shame or guilt

or due to something bad

It’s just that if I let myself

that love would drive me mad
