Longing For the Moon and the Stars In the Sky

So cometh the morn the Sun shall arise

Breaking at dawn, unveiling blue skies

Those of the darkness hurry away

Not for them the bright light of day,

Sleepy eyed, we stir from our beds

Sweet dreams and phantoms flee from our heads,

As our world awakens the nocturnal hide

For they long for the Moon, and the stars in the sky.
