Sometimes I was the shy, shadowy one,

the other side of the mirror girl

Bloody Mary maybe

sometimes in a bad mood

the one she was afraid of

while looking at herself,

She was the one who shined

the sun one,

she and I switched sometimes

She lived in a more watery Tucson

where all the old river washes

once again flowed

and cottonwoods once again

lined the banks of the Santa Cruz

She had raven black hair

she had the warm tone of voice

I saw her way back in there

looking through me,

I was her moon

She was yellow

I was blue

we loved each other

somehow through

thinking we hated

ourselves for way too long

She had her moods too

Somehow we heal

somehow through time

her eyes shining

through

sometimes

she sings too

sometimes

I hear her laughter

from way back

when we were children
