Alone she lays 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 colour 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 the child Still intrude 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 a 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 their room And wait for the sunlight to brighten their gloom Together they gather Their lunacy shared 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
