Why I Cry
Moonlight ,shining through the window pane
The silence that slowly drives you insane
Wind flowing through the trees
Talking softy to the summer breeze
Sounds out in the night
become loneliest when you turn out the light
Oh no what's that sound
One eye open as you look around
Imagination has come unwound
Shadows that are dancing across the floor.
Maybe mom should of closed the closet door
What's that something running through my wall
I'd jump and run but id just up and fall
but I'd get away if only I could walk
Cant tell you I've yet learned to talk
It's all this night
time dreary
That during the day I'm so weary
Can't call out your name
Your not to blame
when I need you I have to cry
Just thought id tell you why
