A white shape flits across the sky

There is no moon tonight but him

I wonder how he does it, how he goes on

Day by day, with the life he hides

Sometimes it bleeds through shortly

For a moment, his jovial façade slips

Replaced by a weary and exhausted look

A white phantom, silent in the darkness

Bright, but still a shadow, only a copy

Like the wind he rides, the magic he uses

He can't be tamed, a free spirit

I wish I could be the one to catch him

It is only a fleeting hope, though

Because if I did he would fade away like the sun

The moonlight is his domain, the darkness mine

But still, for a bit, I wish I could fly with him
