Roses Aren't Forever

6.22.05

I think the earth has shifted,
‘Cause I know my life has changed.
My heart it has been shaken;
Now nothing really feels the same.

The roses fall like shooting stars,
And I wonder which one is next.
The clouds are forming around me,
Into a storm I won’t forget.

So I’ll lay out in the meadow,
Let the lightning hit my chest.
Watch the moon break into pieces,
And the shores fall in the depth.

I’m afraid I have no reason
Why I sit, and without fear,
And watch my world just fall apart,
But there’s no hiding from what’s here.

The stars are bright and brilliant,
But tonight their charm won’t matter.
Let go of them as you did my heart,
And likewise they will shatter.
