Alone, she lays 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 rides on the light

The light through the window

That lights up the sky
And calls this her mournful 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 still 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 toll

Scared of the moon
But now there are others
Who sit in their room

And wait for the sunlight
To brighten their gloom
Together, they gather

Their lunacy shared
Not 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


Scared
Scared
