Black Moonlight

You came to me on a rainy day,

And then you took my sun away

I was a fool, I heard them say

Still I tried to find our way

Jokers laugh, beggars cry

Thieves deceive but lovers die

Can’t believe it was all a lie

But it must be true coz you said good bye.

In this constant chemical high

Can’t move on I swear I try.

There’s a black full moon on the sky tonight,

And I’m bathing myself in its black light

Bit by bit, disappearing from sight

Hoping this is the way that I can make things right.

Strings of stars on a rope

Hanging on to rays of hope

Addicted to the killer dope

Looking for an anti-dote.

You were mine and I was yours

Peeping through each others doors

Constant spinning in that eternal dance;

We tried quite hard, but we lost our chance.

Lost ourselves in lovers’ trance

There’s a black full moon on the sky tonight,

And im’ bathing myself in its black light

Bit by bit, disappearing from sight

Hoping this is the way that I can make things right.
