lost to the moon

violet's back in her garden again

the sun in her eyes

she walks in beauty

like the night

fog lies heavy on the ground

shadows swirling round

sky turns black

clock says noon

and i know that she's lost to the moon

violet's back in her tower again

the note that she wrote

washed away in the pouring rain

the best of what's dark and bright

meets in her eyes

midnight strikes too soon

and i know that we're lost to the moon

dreamily down in the darkness again

it's a dance that she's taking me on - vanishing

a foot in both worlds

the shell and the pearl

shining in vain

the song may be in tune

but i know that i'm lost to the moon

sky turns black

clock says noon

and i know that she's lost to the moon

midnight strikes too soon

and i know that we're lost to the moon
