Scared of the Moon Lyrics

Alone she lies waiting
Surrounded by gloom
Invaded by shadows
Painting the room
The light from the window
Cuts through the air
And pins the child lying there

Scared of the moon

She pulls up the covers
And shivers in fright
She hides from the colour
That writes on the light
The light through the window
That lights up the sky
And causes her moanful cry

Scared of the moon

There's nothing wrong
Don't be bothered they said
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 there fearful
When evening descends
The fear of the 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 a truth
The moon is the enemy
Twisting her soul
And taking its fearful tone

Scared of the moon

But now there are others
That sit here alone
And wait for the sunlight
To brighten their gloom
Together they gather
The loners see shade
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
Scared of the moo
