No Moon Tonight
An eerie silence has enveloped the land
An inky blackness; as if painted by hand
But there is no moon tonight
Just stars emitting their light
I dream of love tonight
You, next to me, holding me tight
But there is no moon tonight
Only glimmering stars in flight
Sleeping, desiring, dreaming
Iridescent moon beams gleaming
How can there be no moon tonight?
When I yearn for love to unite
And in-between the inky blackness
I dream of eternal happiness
Still, there’s no moon on this cold night
To uplift me from my beleaguered plight
Prove me wrong
Make me belong
Cling on to me
Don’t control me
Give me energy
Share our synergy
So there will be no moon tonight
A void, an emptiness, I can not fight
Always suffuse me
Never refuse me
With the love you imbue
Tenderness anew
Banish the black
Don’t hold back
And yet, there’s no moon tonight
I’ll save my love for another night
