New Moon
I stand in the sunset
Where light once sat
now darkness takes my face
Pockmarked, cold and stark
Breathe and feel the dark
Stand in the midnight
Stand here with me
Stars
Like pinpricks in the cosmic fold
I wrap the dark; a cloak around me
My old blue companion
An ocean across and life
There is no darkness
There is no darkness, anywhere
My face is only in shadows
I wait for the sickle
So you can see me once more
Stand in the center
Stand in the center
Stand here with me
Where light once sat
now darkness takes my face
Pockmarked, cold and stark
Breathe and feel the dark
Stand in the midnight
Stand here with me
Stars
Like pinpricks in the cosmic fold
I wrap the dark; a cloak around me
My old blue companion
An ocean across and life
There is no darkness
There is no darkness, anywhere
My face is only in shadows
I wait for the sickle
So you can see me once more
Stand in the center
Stand in the center
Stand here with me
