As the sun met the moon tonight
they hung on opposite ends of the earth.
But you were nowhere to be found
despite the feelings inside that still lurk.

I looked deeply in the mirror,
as I tried to find myself.
Got lost in chameleon eyes,
with emotions on the shelf.

When darkness had set in the moon was full;
my soul was merely empty.
And as the stars danced across evening skies,
hope was nowhere with me.

The rain clouds finally passed, but the tears they fell again
How can you come and go, then call yourself my friend?

I can no longer take the distance
When we remain so close
Who knew that it could hurt this much?
To be dancing with your ghost

So I run from home, to a foreign land
Where I’ll meet with the earth
To sink my toes in the sand.
I’ll dare to find hope again
Forget what I had known
Find castles beside seashores
To build a new home

And maybe some day, I will return
With a fist full of gold and a lesson I’ve learned

Although pockets of treasure
Can’t amount to this love
The haunting of ghost
were not sent from above.

So while I’m away
Upon my request
If nothing more
dream nothing less.
