Bless the Night

The crescent moon begins to fade 
As the darkness becomes light 
I lay silent in despair 
Letting go of yet another night 
If only I could hold back time 
Control the powers that be 
I’d wrap you in my loving arms 
And keep you here with me 
Damn the sun, that takes you 
Leaving only misery 
Your voice, your touch, your love 
Reduced to a memory 
I hear your whispers in the wind 
And in the shadows see your face 
The cries for passion engulf me 
I blame the sun for this barren place 
Alas another day has ended 
Oh dearest moon I call to thee 
For it is you that knows my pain 
And you that brings him back to me 
I slip between my sheets of silk 
Hungry for love, in need of rest 
I drift into this pleasure zone 
Then with your presence I am blessed 
I pray the night to shun the dawn 
And hear my silent screams 
My love for you will remain untouched 
Forever in my dreams
