Moonstruck P.J. Murphy
Okay, I appreciate that you've
been always there for me
through each long tortuous,
restless, sleepless night
And brightened up the gloom
each time I broke down when
some floozy made my fickle
foolish fragile heart a mess
And yes, 'twas you who kept me
company when no other friends
were there to offer comfort
in my deepest darkest night
But, right now I just feel
That I can't furnish any answers
to your sad fixation with this
fiery, feisty object of your lust
I must point out to you, in fact
that you have chased this hot
and haughty goddess, with no ray of hope
for thousands of millenia now
And how much longer, my pale friend
Can you sail sadly through the night
hoping for a glimpse or sight of she
who always dodges you till dawn?
And ~yawn~ you know it's really late
I don't feel great and need my sleep
I'd love to keep you company but
We both know she'll hide until you're gone
Just one last piece of genuine advice
- there are millions out there who
are twice as nice, and like to hang around
with you, I've even seen them swoon...
So goodnight moon, aw - please don't cry
There's plenty more stars in the sky...
