Lyrics
ME AND THE MOON
I'm alone in the darkness
I'm alone on the street
In this city of strangers
That I never will meet
These first days of November
Bring that ominous chill
That cold isolation
That strangles the will
That conjures the feeling of lost and alone
A tender heart in this city of stone
It seems my only friend now is that cold, silver balloon
Oh tonight, it's just me and the moon
Once there was light
In this dreary place
The sun shone bright
On her beautiful face
Those eyes, those lips
Those days were eclipsed much too soon
I'm alone in the darkness
I'm adrift on the sea
I'm consumed by the hunger
For some warm company
I don't know where she is now
Probably far, far away
On some tropical island
Where the tall palm trees sway
And the scent of her perfume is locked in my brain
The sweetest mixture of pleasure and pain
Once we danced closely to some sweet lover's tune
But tonight, its just me and the moon
Oh tonight, it's just me.......me and the moon
