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 color that rides on the night the light through the window that lights up the sky and causes 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 a child still intrudes 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 toll scared of the moon  but now there are others who sit in a room and wait for the sunlight to brighten their gloom together they gather their lunacy shade 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 scared of the moon 2
