We Dance In The Dark



 for Judy Garland

I put on an old coat that matches my worn shoes

And make my way up the mountain

To where only the fog blooms

(A headlamp flashes in the dark  the moon looms) 

Faye Dunaway played both Bonnie Parker and Joan Crawford


On the big screen   Judy Garland played Dorothy

In the Wizard of Oz and gave the Tin Man his heart

Her ruby slippers still fit when she died of a drug overdose

In a London hotel  triumphant and alone  

We dance in the dark  here on this mountain of stone
