Distant Moon

Oh what is it that I long so bad;

What is it that keeps me awake at night?

Could it be you my Distant Moon?

But, no- how could it be?

For you are so far and fair, and not even - human!

But yes, I know it's you,

for you have always been there.

For through my windows your light shines bright;

In dark and lonely night, you light my way.

I just want to taste you just once;

To feel your heavenly embrace round about my waist.

Give me comfort, and keep me safe;

For it IS you that I want -

my Distant Moon.
