Alone she lays waiting

Surrounded by gloom

Inflated by shadows

Painting the room

The light from the window

Cuts trough the air

And pins the child lying there

Scared of the moon

She pulls up the curtain

And shivers in fright

She hides from the colours

That rides on the night

The light through the window

That lights up the sky

And causes her moon full cry

Scared of the moon

There’s nothing wrong

Don’t be bothered this way

It’s just childish fantasies turning your head

No need to worry

It’s really too soon

But there she lies shivering

Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon

The years go by swiftly

And soon childhood ends

But life is still fearful

When evening descends

The fear of a child

Still intrude the night

Returning on beams of light

Scared of the moon

The feeling of terror

She felt as a youth

Has turned from a fantasy

Into the truth

The moon is the enemy

Twisting her soul

And taking its fearful tone

Scared of the moon

But now there are others who sit in a room

And wait for the sunlight to ride through the gloom

Together they gather

Their moon is ashamed

But knowing just why they’re scared

Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon
