Beauty and Betrayal
The moonlight dappled on your skin
As the trees around did whisper
Telling tales of love and loss
Of beauty and betrayal
There were shadows dancing in puppet shows
Cloud acrobats above us
The stage was set
Your light went on
It was time to tell your story
Lying on the grass with you
That night I will remember
The words you spoke of love and loss
His beauty, your betrayal
There were shadows dancing in puppet shows
Cloud acrobats above us
The stage was set
But your audience left
Before you explained your story
The moonlight dappled on your skin
As the trees around did whisper
Mocking the tale of love I’d lost
And cheering for your betrayal
- Me
The moonlight dappled on your skin
As the trees around did whisper
Telling tales of love and loss
Of beauty and betrayal
There were shadows dancing in puppet shows
Cloud acrobats above us
The stage was set
Your light went on
It was time to tell your story
Lying on the grass with you
That night I will remember
The words you spoke of love and loss
His beauty, your betrayal
There were shadows dancing in puppet shows
Cloud acrobats above us
The stage was set
But your audience left
Before you explained your story
The moonlight dappled on your skin
As the trees around did whisper
Mocking the tale of love I’d lost
And cheering for your betrayal
- Me
