Shadows on the Moon
Shadows on the Moon
Across the moon the shadows race,
dim silhouettes of days gone by.
As I reach out to grasp a trace,
across the moon the shadows race,
they blur the features of your face.
Though my heart breaks, I cannot cry.
Across the moon the shadows race,
dim silhouettes of days gone by.
