What is a lonely mind to do at night
But to drift across snow covered streets?
Evading the dull flicker of streetlights
Through bushes and behind trash bins
So to keep hidden from the moon
As he watches from the midnight sky
To be caught prompts the question
“Why are you still awake?”
And a lonely mind has no clear answer
Because she does not know why

What is a lonely mind to do at night
But to drift across snow covered streets?
Evading the dull flicker of streetlights
Through bushes and behind trash bins
So to keep hidden from the moon
As he watches from the midnight sky
To be caught prompts the question
“Why are you still awake?”
And a lonely mind has no clear answer
Because she does not know why
