Walking out under the stars
Left to ponder what is ahead
Wondering where you are
Trying to overcome my thoughts so dread
Upon a stream of glowing light
I look upon a dark sky above
My eyes take in a beautiful sight
I think of the one I love
A kiss to the heavens I send
I walk this trail alone
Hoping my heart reaches to you I pretend
All the way from here to home
I take these moonlight excursions
The rays of which fill me with aversion
To the pain I feel being apart
From the one who holds my heart.
