lyrics

When in the night, when in the crowd,
and you can’t tell what dark has done,
Look around. Time allowed,
you might find your answer spun
when the moon is freaking out,
but it’s still the light of the sun.
When the moon is peeking down,
it’s still the light of the sun.

Well you’re my best, you’re by my side.
I’m at my best when you’re in sight.
When you’re at rest, you’re still my best.
Are you the source of this moonlight?
When the moon is freaking out,
it’s still the light of the sun.
And when the moon is peeking down,
it’s still the light of the sun.

How could I doubt my own sight?
You were always lighting nights.
Making sure we’re never scared.
All the lunatics beware!
And when the moon is freaking out
it’s still the light of the sun.
When the moon is peeking down,
it’s still the light of the sun.

When I feel you’re out of range,
every moonbeam causes pain.
My going mind twisting blinds,
and life is just not quite the same.
But when I keep you in my mind,
your rays make puppets of
everything I feel inside.
You shine above for my love.
