Far Above Moon's Ancient Shadow

Far Above Moon's Ancient Shadow (A Sad Tale of Woe) Pain, crying pains that ripped glass, and black clouds waving goodbyes. Aye, I remember you sweet lass and that twinkle in your eyes. Far above moon's ancient shadow among sad gleams from lost stars. Frigid cold, filled a soul so shallow aye lass, your leaving left scars. Hurt, hurt resting in deepest pits memories dance out of tune. Ancient moon, sending me new hits each year on last day of June! Far above moon's ancient shadow among sad gleams from lost stars. Frigid cold, filled a soul now shallow aye lass, your leaving left scars. Time, time utterly fails its course nights break bones in a flurry. Ah, but they shoot a dying horse now, fate's hand does not hurry! Far above moon's ancient shadow among sad gleams from lost stars. Frigid cold, filled a soul now shallow aye lass, your leaving left scars. R. J.
