Sleep The Night Away
The moon and I reveal phases featured by suitor moods.
While others sleep the night away
we relish carnal foods.
The moon and I keep company during the darkest hours.
While others sleep the night away
we calm with subtle powers.
The moon and I share confidence hidden from common views.
While others sleep the night away
we comprehend the clues.
The moon and I croon harmony refrained in mellow tones.
While others sleep the night away
we create comfort zones.
The moon and I observe romance played out over the lands.
While others sleep the night away
we saunter holding hands.
The moon and I travel alone across a starry sky.
While others sleep the night away
we find reasons to fly.
