Lost to the Moon

Violet's back in her garden again The sun in her eyes, she walks in beauty Like the night Fog lies heavy on the ground Shadows swirling round Sky turns black Clock says noon And I know that she's lost to the moon Violet's back in her tower again The note that she wrote Washed away in the pouring rain The best of what's dark and bright Meets in her eyes Midnight strikes too soon And I know that we're lost to the moon Dreamily down in the darkness again It's a dance that she's taking me on - vanishing A foot in both worlds, the shell and the pearl Shining in vain The song may be in tune But I know that I'm lost to the moon Sky turns black Clock says noon And I know that she's lost to the moon Midnight strikes too soon And I know that we're lost to the moon
