Moonlight

Moon shining through the leafy lace,
sprinkling light on my darkened face.
Moon glowing through my window.
Softening shape and sharpening shadow.
We watched that moon rise together,
So many many moons ago
Slipping up over the skyline,
Taking it easy, gentle and slow.

You led me through the deep'ning night
With that new-dime moon our only light
You said it was a true love
That would last as long as that moon above
When waned that moon so did the new
So before it could be reborn
You left me for the rising sun
Alone with the dead moon and forlorn.
