lyrics

GOODBYE MOONLIGHT

Goodbye moonlight, goodbye romance
The legend is over, it was caught on the wind
The days seem strong and holy compared to the night
But my soul will always remain the nocturnal kind.

I used to believe in demons I used to fear
But now the fantasies are over I look to a bright career
I look ahead for answers to the day's early light
It delivers the beauty but it forgets why.

CH:
They say "Come on, come home
Come into the light".
They say "Come on, come home
Come into the light".

I enter and am welcomed they all know me by name
I see the colours in their eyes and their all the same
I tell them their light it is blinding it'll weaken our souls
We need the insecurity of the darkness to strengthen our resolve.

CH:

You were my only one my pleasure my pain
Now time has taken my love affair with your midnight rain
The dreaming is now over all nature has gone
For I am forced to hide in a world with no night time song.

CH:

There will be a statue of me somewhere
Saluting my victory in life's social fare
Telling how I traversed the plain doing no right and no wrong
While my heart called out for a night time song.
