Thee full moon casts a silver light about me
Linnen strips of fog hang heavy
And work with darkness to take me in.
Tears fall to the ground
As the silent rain
One longing to be found
I sit and cry tonight again.
In the wind I hear your voice
In the darkness you come near
Your ghostly arms hold me close
A pale hand to wipe away my tears
I feel safe in your embrace
But look into your eyes? I do not dare
As though a ghost, within your face
I would not find them there
And when you're gone where do you go
Back to the grave my friend
A year ago I'd never know
That it, like this, would end
So then I stand and death despising
return to where I came
And turning back realizing
again I whisper your name
You now only I can see
For death's sweet night can't take my love from me.
