Circle around the moon.

ring-around-the-moon

 

Sometimes I feel there’s a hole inside of me,

An emptiness that at times seems to burn,

I think if you lifted my heart to your ear,

You would probably hear the ocean.

 

And the moon tonight,

There’s a circle around it,

Sign of trouble not far behind…

 

I have this dream of being whole,

I’m not going to sleep each night wanting,

But still sometimes,

When the wind is warm,

Or the crickets sing…

 

I dream of a love that even time will lie down,

And be still for…

 

I just want someone to love me,

I want to be seen,

 

I don’t know,

Maybe I had my happiness…

I don’t want to believe it,

But there is no one…

Only the moon.
