Pretty Moon

Pretty Moon shine your light on me

Take the gloom edge off my window

For allegedly, you’re my friend

And I believe in you

Til the end of the earth

Won’t you shine down your mirth

Into this dark and lonely place

Pretty Moon say a prayer for me

For I’m not sure where I’m going

And I fail to see what’s right here

Though I’m trying hard

It’s not clear I belong

In the midst of this throng

Help me find some breathing space

Pretty Moon play your tricks for me

Right now I’m game for anything

Cast a silky glow on my head

Lead me far away

From the dread of the blue

Won’t you wash me anew

In your light of supple grace
