Catch the Moon

You hide in night like whispered song

I lie awake for far too long

I see your light, elusive flame

Never flicker twice the same.

 

I cannot tear my eyes from you

I cannot bear this love you brew

I reach with broken finger tips

You whisper silence on my lips.

 

"I am a star," I hear you sing

"Something for me you must bring

Pull the moon straight from the sky

And I will love you 'til you die."

 

How long, how hard, how fast I fell

For such a deep, enchanting spell

I cannot say how high I flew

Just to catch the moon for you.
