Lonely Moon

[Verse 1]
Was a child and a newcomer to the ways of the world
Eyes ablaze with the light of high noon
Just to love and to be loved was all he wanted
By the light of the lonely moon

[Verse 2]
Well they taught him to capture and tame wild pathos
Sold him distractions and made every day seem the same
Caught the Holy Ghost lurking in his cellars and threw Him out
Leaving just a lonely name

[Verse 3]
Soon they took everything that he lived for
So he asked them to please take his life too
They denied him existence but they let him live
In a lonely room
In a lonely room

[Verse 4]
Oh he would suckle at the bosom of Mother Earth
But his experience poisons that thought
He falls prey somehow to the silence of the deep-space dark
Of this lonely blue rock
Of this lonely blue rock
Hey hey hey hey

[Verse 5]
Now his path is lit only by the light of the falling stars
The embers fall to scorch and cut his face
He wants to believe in his unbelief
In a lonely place

[Verse 6]
But they buried his conscience near to the grave of God
Sealed his soul up in a tomb of tears
And they scattered his ashes East of Eden someplace
On a lonely breeze

[Verse 1]
Ah, was a child and a newcomer to the ways of the world
Eyes ablaze with the light of high noon
Just to love and to be loved was all he needed
By the light of the lonely moon
By the light of the lonely moon
Hey hey hey hey
