Paid to See the Moon

I paid to see the moon tonight
I paid to leave the ground
And as the moon dropped out of sight without a sound
I thought about your warming touch
The softness of your eyes
I longed to hear your calming voice in the night
Dance with me
Hold me til you fall asleep and stay with me
Wake without the thoughts of
Another day away from you
The chill of winter’s hand
The latitude alone is all that I can stand
The fortunes of your standing there
Were never lost on me
Without you by my side I cease to be
Dance with me
Hold me til you fall asleep and stay with me
Tell me that I’m never alone
I paid to see the moon tonight
I paid to see you cry
And as the moon dropped out of sight I wondered why
