The Moth and the Moon

Written by Si Atherley

Another song about the moon

She lived in a perfect world, she had the perfect life
She was with both man and babe, she made the perfect wife
But then one day she looked at the moon, and saw that he was sad
And then the moon he looked back at her, and secretly she was glad

She was falling…
She was falling for the moon
.. the moon so sad

She lived in a perfect world, she had the perfect life
But she had a secret world, where things were not quite right
Every night she stared at the moon, though she fought with all her might
But still, she could not break the spell of the glimmering silver light

She was falling…
She was falling for the moon
… oh so so bad

[ mini break ]

She had a secret world, but feared it would end too soon
So one night she caught the moon and she locked him in her room
Every night she unlocked the door and took a peek inside
But the room it was far too bright to see the tears the moon had cried

She had fallen…
She had fallen for the moon
… the moon so sad

[ middle 8 ]

She had a secret life, but she knew it would end too soon
The cocoon she’d made, it suited her, but for the moon it was a tomb
Every night the moon cried out, please will you set me free?
But the moon she’d locked up in her heart, and she’d thrown away the key

She had fallen…
She had fallen for the moon
… oh so so bad

She once had a secret world, and she had to bring it back
But the moon he never answered her, and the sky was always black
Every night she banged on his door, and then she cried and cried
But the room it was far too dark to see the moon had died,
The moon had died inside

She had fallen…
She had fallen for the moon
… oh so so bad

She had fallen…
She had fallen for the moon
… the moon so sad
