Alone she lies waiting

Surrounded by gloom

Invaded by shadows

Painting the room

The light from the window

Cuts through the air

And pins the child lying there

Scared of the moon

She pulls up the covers

And shivers in fright

She hides from the colour

That writes on the light

The light through the window

That lights up the sky

And causes her moanful cry

Scared of the moon

There's nothing wrong

Don't be bothered they said

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 there fearful

When evening descends

The fear of the 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 a truth

The moon is the enemy

Twisting her soul

And taking its fearful tone

Scared of the moon

But now there are others

That sit here alone

And wait for the sunlight

To brighten their gloom

Together they gather

The loners see shade

But knowing just why they're scared

Scared of the moon
