Day seventeen
Terzanelle / Take two
High Noon
Sunlight reflected the shadow within
the smile on her face hid a shadow deep
a shadowy chill beneath sun warmed skin
my lady had her own secrets to keep
as she rode through town on that fateful day
the smile on her face hid a sorrow deep
thoughts of the price she would be asked to pay
with her head held high and her smile in place
as she rode through town on that fateful day
the sheriff appeared with a measured pace
her escort then said " proceed to the jail "
with her head held high and her smile in place
she stopped her horse for she couldn't now fail
to shoot the man dead who had killed her son
her escort then said " proceed to the jail "
In jail was the killer, she raised her gun
sunlight reflected the shadow within
as she shot the man dead who killed her son
shadowy chill beneath sun warmed skin
