I Am the Moon
I AM THE MOON
Each night I lay me down to sleep,
My broken hearted eyes do weep,
For me there shall be, no other one,
I am the moon, and you are the sun,
I dwell in darkness, without your light,
This love I have, I can not fight,
Forever to live, so far away,
When I am the night, and you are the day,
For what is the moon without your light,
An unseen speck, adrift in plight,
I am but a shadow, without the sun,
My day is ending, when yours has begun,
Cold and lifeless, adrift in space,
My only warmth, comes from your face,
A universe, touched by your gaze,
So many worlds lit by your rays,
For you are the sun, and I am the moon,
You are the wind, and I am the dune,
I am the mountain, and you are the sky,
And I will always love you, till the day I die,
When the eyes of the sky do cry,
Its the warmth of the sun,
that makes them dry,
