WHEN THE MOON WAS BRIGHT

WHEN THE MOON WAS BRIGHT

The moon was bright and hung low in the sky

To the rendezvous secretly she sneaked by

Waves lapped on the shore embracing shingle

A sudden breeze made her shiver and tingle

Walking by the shore lit by the moon

She hurried, knowing she'd be there soon

Under the tree on the hill

There he stood waiting perfectly still

Reunited with her lover

Making promises to be together forever

If only life could be so simple

But it never is when it comes to actual

For she knew deep in her heart it never could be so

For one day he would up and go

Her heart broken and reduced to tears

Confirming her prediction and all her fears

In her heart she knew he lied

Every night she weeped and cried

But every month when the moon is bright

She makes her way by it's light

On the hill by the tree

And there she glances at the sea

Hoping he will be coming ashore

Telling her, that it's her whom he adores

Many years have now gone

Her soul tormented for so long

And there her spirit gazes out at the waves

Hoping he'll return to her one day
