It's 3am and the moon still shines
Upon my bed this night
The darkness blows and breathes
Its wind through the trees
Like a calming prayer
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
Nobody is stirring
The creatures are resting
The night is digesting
The busyness of life
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
Yet I am wide awake
Sleepless nights have come about
And troubled me thus
I am full of doubt
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
Through my clouds this night
The darkness blows and breathes
Its wind through the trees
Like a calming prayer
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
There is no time
To do this
To do that
Within reason or rhyme
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
My life is complete
A wealthy lady lay
Under a ray
Of my heavenly light
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
Many mouths to feed
No money have I
Broke am I
All for their need
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
And they are full grown
Have families of their own
Twinkling far away
And I am alone
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
Though I am wide awake
Nights are restless
I am breathless
Pray my soul to take
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
"The inconstant moon" is it?
They've left me here
Without word or care
Though they are near
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
And she has been my friend
Spirits of the night
Guide me to what is right
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
And I have reached its end
Will the ray still shine
Her love divine
Or will it fade, and then.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
Farewell, my lovely Luna
I grow old
And very cold
Yet so filled with warmth
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
And still she mourns for him
Her faithful Apollo
Was anything but hollow
And took the Earth with him
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
It's 3am and the moon still shines
And though she is alone
Venus still comes by
And gives what must be shown.
