Moonshine
I was watching the moon
when she started to bloom,
then a cloud came, and
stole her away!...
You come into my room,
Instantly I'm consumed,
I forget what I
wanted to say!...
At the edge of the night
through my window sash
I look out, and the moon's
in my eye...
Not quite sure, it's obscure,
but I'll let it pass
If it means that I'll
live or I'll die...
I had debts on the brain,
and the sleep never came...
All my friends can so
rarely be found!...
They've all got their own grief,
but my secret relief
Is that face in the sky
when I'm down...
At the edge of the night
through my window sash
I look out, and the moon's
in my eye...
Not quite sure, it's obscure,
but I'll let it pass
If it means that I'll
live or I'll die...
Now I'm tied to this dream
with a backbone I gleam
like the smile on a face
of a thief!...
Everyday I push through
Knowing that I'll see you
When I plop down, and
Lay me to sleep!...
At the edge of the night
through my window sash
I look out, and the moon's
in my eye...
Not quite sure, it's obscure,
but I'll let it pass
If it means that I'll
live or I'll die...
