Silver Moon

Silver moon, are you lonesome just like me
Is your love far away beyond the stars
You stir my soul just like you stir the sea
Follow me home and calm my aching heart

My gal and I once lay
Gentled by your light
One in body one in mind
But storms and sorrows overtook us
And now she is gone and I'm left so far behind

Oh silver moon, don't hurry through the sky
Stay and keep me in your silent gaze
Tears cloud my mind and they sting my eyes
Keep watch with me until the break of day

I fear that the clouds are rolling
Soon the darkness will close in tight
Heavens, won't you show some mercy
Hold off until the morning light

Silver moon, you're changing all the time
Full, then hollow, a sliver and then grown
My heart, too, floods and empties out
But tonight I'm so forsaken and alone
