She stood next to the window

Shape outlined by the setting sun

He became her shadow

Melting the two as one

Time stood still

For a breathless moment

Trying to fulfill

That promise to foment

The future into

A deal done

He decided to move on

She became a statue

Frozen in the past

Wed to a memory

She never wanted to...

She hung up the harps tonight

Decided to go out in style

Resurrecting ghosts

Isn't worth her while

Plugging into life

After years of not

Ignoring the strife

And what it's wrought

Doesn't matter about tomorrow

All the unresolved sorrow

That can wait for another day

Hope carries this one away

Dancing to another tune

She may be crazy as a loon

But this night belongs to her

Of that, she can be sure...

When all else fails...
