Alone she lays waiting Surrounded by gloom Inflated by shadows Painting the room The light from the window Cuts trough the air And pins the child lying there Scared of the moon
She pulls up the curtain And shivers in fright She hides from the colours That rides on the night The light through the window That lights up the sky And causes her moanfull 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 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 the truth The moon is the enemy Twisting her soul And taking its fearful tone Scared of the moon
But now there are others who sit here alone And wait for the sunlight to brighten their gloom Together they gather The loners see 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
