Don't you think I get bored especially at night

Looking from above with such dim light

Given so much power I control the tides

Giving surfers the next day some joyous rides

I watch you humans all night too

Of course who'd you'd think its me the old moon

I come out around evening just to see her face

Her radiant glow I must embrace

How could one from below not enjoy this pleasure

Her sunset you call it, a glorious treasure.

I only get to see her finally act

As her rays brighten the sky before turning black

I praise her in the distance, it's always a delight

How she paints a portrait of colors before retiring for the night

Oh how I long for she sun, I'd play her my fiddle

But everytime I get close,the earth comes in the middle

And then I, like humans in a love, such a shame

Someone always there to block the way

You humans sit nightly you cry and you stare

Why at me ? I wonder Why the hell should I care?

You lose and you win and in love it's the same

If you fall out of love, who is to blame?

But some way over in the middle of Cali

Over hill and treacherous valleys

A pretty girl cries in a red velvet dress

Her tears get louder, she seems distressed.

She whispered a sentence and it slipped off her a tongue

On hearing the news the old moon frowned.

The daisy in her hand crushed against her breast

The last thing he gave Her,lies peacefully on the chest

Her mind starts to wonder, about the soldier she missed

The long dreary days he'd end with a kiss

And with a thumb and an eyelid closed.

I vanish into the abyss,

Poof, but nobody knows

That he taught you this trick before he left for war

By looking at the old moon, he's never too far

The girl's poor predicament made me feel sad

She Young in love had it so bad

Me and her had some common qualities in hind sight

So I went to her window and shone her some light

Hopefully I'd help comfort her cause I seemed to care

As my tears flow softly and fill the spring air

As my heart grew heavy no more Pain could it bear

Another night without the sun

And a pretty girl's lover who could die by a gun.

So I picked up myself and pondered and sighed

We all are in love, we all have died

The old moon and the humans have so much alike

No wonder they sit and talk to me at night

I started to care about the humans down there

And I whispered silently I the old moon will always be here.
