Moonlight on Dark Roses

My first true friend

We didn’t play with dolls

much to Saturn-turned

Preferred tearing down walls

If only for a little while

Witches even as childs

We knew the secrets

Though we only smiled

Cause the truth was needless

Moonlight on dark roses

Skulls of alabaster white

Who knows what the truth is

I just know I’m right

To call you my true friend

Our crazy parents off in their worlds

Left alone together

Two curious latchkey girls

At least we had each other

If only for a little while

Later you came into my life again

What serendipity

To find my true lost friend

I suppose the Gods took some pity

If only for a little while

Moonlight on dark roses

Skulls of alabaster white

Who knows what the truth is

I just know I’m right

To call you my true friend

Distance separated us again

Didn’t come as a surprise

Things will go as they tend

This time I just closed my eyes

If only for a little while

Much older now but still crazy

And so are you I see

The truth can be hazy

But one thing I know to be

Is you are my true friend

Moonlight on dark roses

Skulls of alabaster white

Who knows what the truth is

I just know I’m right

To call you my true friend
