Back Home Next
It's so dark tonight
and I'm so cold
the heater is broken
the stove is old
the blankets are frozen
out on the line
as i sit by my fire
I look to the window
the moon is full
the shadows have grown
this room is so empty
except for my moon in the window
the winter has ended
but the summer has come
no job has been offered
and the food is done
it's so hot in here
and I can't breathe
I tremble with fear
so I look to my window
and guess what I see
the moon is so bright
it smiles at me
and I forget my fears
and I lay down to sleep
summer is ending
and the fall begins
I worry and hope that life will meet ends
there is no food
and there is no water
my rent is due
and my hope starts to falter
the window is black
there's no moon tonight
nothing to look for
the shadows have hidden
as I crawl towards the door
this room is so empty
for no one lives here now
she passed away as soft as a cloud
her life was in ruin
she left nothing to her name
her parents now hang they're heads in shame
but one night she came to show,
her parents that moon in the window
the moon was full
and the shadows had grown
they missed they're baby girl
but she had gone home
