(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
