Moon At the Window

It takes cheerful resignation

Heart and humility

That's all it takes

Cheerful person told me

Nobody's harder on me than me

How could they be

And nobody's harder on you than you

Betsy's blue she says

Tell me something good

You know I'd help her out if I only could

Oh, but sometimes the light

Can be so hard to find

At least the moon at the window

The thieves left that behind

People don't know how to love

They taste it and toss it

Turn it off and on

Like a bathtub faucet

Oh sometimes the light

Can be so hard to find

At least the moon at the window

The thieves left that behind

I wish her heart

I know these battles

Deep in the dark

When the spooks of memories rattle

Ghosts of the future

Phantoms of the past

Rattle, rattle, rattle

In the spoon and the glass

Is it possible to learn

How to care and yet not care?

Since love has two faces

Hope and despair

Pleasure always turns to fear I find

At least the moon at the window

The thieves left that behind

Moon at the window

They left that behind

At least they left the moon

Behind the blind

Moon at the window
