Alone she lays waiting
Surrounded by gloom
Inflated by shadows
Painting the room
The light from the window
Cuts trough the air
And pins the child lying there
Scared of the moon
She pulls up the curtain
And shivers in fright
She hides from the colours
That rides on the night
The light through the window
That lights up the sky
And causes her moon full cry
Scared of the moon
There’s nothing wrong
Don’t be bothered this way
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 still fearful
When evening descends
The fear of a 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 the truth
The moon is the enemy
Twisting her soul
And taking its fearful tone
Scared of the moon
But now there are others who sit in a room
And wait for the sunlight to ride through the gloom
Together they gather
Their moon is ashamed
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
