First, I thank Travis for the original idea in a lyric he posted a couple of weeks ago called "Searched for a rose" and a couple of lines on this one.

Sorry, but it's another sad one and maybe a little long but I think it needs to be to tell the tale. Can you figure what it's about?

V1
It was a cry in the dark for assistance
and my hand grabbed a gun from the drawer
footsteps ran off in the distance
and a body lay still on the floor
V2
The jury were swayed by my previous
and I sure was no angel before
The motive they claimed was insurance
but I don't give a damn anymore
Ch.
The dark queen rains down
but the sun wears the crown
and paints up the sky 'til she glows
This isn't the day today but who knows?
Maybe tomorrow I will find my Rose.
Yes! Maybe tomorrow I will find my Rose.
V3
Some days go quicker than others
Doors sometimes open, then close
But between this rock and a hard place
there's always room for a rose
V4
I'm certain that fate holds the answer
What goes around, comes back around
and in the old forever after,
surely, what's lost will be found
Ch.
Inst.
Br.
My heart is pounding. It's time to go,
and it seems a long walk
down this cold corridoor
I hear a voice praying. My mind's in repose
but my eyes are open to look for my Rose.
Ch.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
