lyrics

For Marilyn M. and Judy G.

For Marilyn M. and Judy G.,
I have tears to shed each night,
For steps undanced, for songs unsung,
And kisses lost to light.
For the earth that shone in two pairs of eyes,
Till we killed their will to fight.

We had to burn Joan of Arc in the fire
Before her spirit fled,
And we led Marie A. through Paris streets,
Ere that beauty lowered her head,
But Marilyn M. and Judy G.,
Took a bottle of pills into bed.

Now beauty is strength, and beauty is truth,
And beauty is hard to find,
And beauty locks itself in a room
When the eyes of the world go blind,
And beauty departs on a further search,
Leaving empty vials behind.

For Marilyn M. and Judy G.,
I have tears to shed each night,
For steps undanced, and songs unsung,
And kisses lost to light.
For the heaven that shone in two pairs of eyes,
And the what might have been, if it might!
