~ Errant Moon ~
Under the guise of romance
the moon pulled me from my sleep
my heart never stood a chance
a victim of circumstance
wayward bound, lessons aren't cheap
under the guise of romance
the moon calls, and I advance
no looking back, in too deep
my heart never stood a chance
I pause, promises enhance
I see their allure, and leap
under the guise of romance
dawn breaks to release the trance
laugh's on me, nothing to keep
my heart never stood a chance
errant moon, a sideways glance
with recycled tears, I weep
under the guise of romance
my heart never stood a chance.
