Woods cry when the sun sleeps Trees afraid of the dark And their own bent creaking Moon don't shed a tear The world turns on Nothing to be done The sun too has to sleep Why wish it were here? Alone in the dark Close your eyes and see clear Woods, do you think the sun only comes where it's praised? As if the light in your thoughts Keeps that sun ablaze? Crescent moon, smirking down on the earth So proud, in the know So high above the absurd Until it's eclipsed And it too is scared and rash Logic becomes elusive in the darkness Oh what a burden
To know you cause so much pain Just to not be forgotten Sun, would you feel betrayed? Would you feel abandoned If I let my thoughts stray? Could you let me sleep Stellaless? If it meant you had to watch me wander away? Moon, all you can say (if I'm your sun) Is "I won't feel betrayed" (if I'm your sun) All you can say (if I'm your sun) Is "go on, I won't feel betrayed" You want my soft thoughts I only give you hard thoughts I know you want my soft thoughts Oh, but don't be afraid No matter how hard I speak On your arm my hand would squeeze it away
