Tonight
I am standing outside
What a night...
I am...
Staring at the widest sky
My eyes are searching
for my favourite shiny thing

Its a strange night though...
I feel awkward standing right here
in my garden
Its dark... Charcoal black..
I couldn't see a thing..

Where is the moon that shines?
All of a sudden...
a soft whispers
to my ears
Am I allowed to be lazy?
Let me not shine
just for tonight..
I am tired to death...
I need the rest...
Sleep is all I need...

I don't really know my sweet moon
I can't answer on behalf...
to avoid your routine?
You'd leave me in complete darkness..
Not me but millions
in sheer black night...
They'd be blind
groping in the dark
Everybody needs a moon..
and so do I...
