Night Song / Aria of the Moon

 

~ Night Song / Aria of the Moon ~

 

 

In the darkness of night, life slows down

the moon comes out and plays her song

love, that moves the sun and other stars,

is the refrain I try to sing along

 

her melody, haunting

her lyrics, my own

her reach, universal

her resolution, unknown

 

she knows the depth of my truth:

I'm living on dreams and chains

she seeks to adjust the rhythm

so only the music remains

 

the night fades and the moon turns away

her back to me, she scans far and wide

as my dawn becomes another's dusk

she hears lyrics that cannot be denied

 

love can move the universe

and the sun and the stars play a part

no doubt or chains can stop her

when the moon has faith in the heart.
