Waiting on my slumber They rest upon my pane My tiny moonbeam friends Clinging to my rain And when I lift my shade They quietly fall through They land upon my wall Sparkling of blue And when I cry They sing to me My little lunar friends For every hurt my heart can feel They try to make amends One of them I know I call him by his name He has a special cause To keep this child insane They make me warm inside When everything is cold My heart is burning young My mind grows old The painted stage It comes alive at night
When all the world is dead And I become the sole audience And they linger in my head Now follow me my loves Everywhere I go Shine on every hair My oxy and nitro We have the world tonight So keep me company And when the sun comes We will be history Now watch me in my troubled sleep My spirits of the night And be nocturnal for me still Be gone with the light Be gone with the light -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
