Out In the Night, Tonight

When was the last time you've seen the night sky
In its naked beauty, no accessories, no star and no moonlight
Only scattered light in the neighbourhood to give a nice sight
And the blow of the cool breeze so good and bright
I believe in life and its beautiful ways
That's only what can make my heart a happy place
Tonight is special...sit and watch the plays
Or better off, let's make a puppy from the clay
I remember the face of the bright moon
And the edges of the sparkling stars 
As I watch from my little mud room
Behold tonight, is a night so scarce
The lids of my eyes will close soon
And I expect the uncensored night will wash my scars
