Someone Stole The Moon

Someone stole the moon last night Left the land bereft of light Sorrow filled the sequinned sky And all the stars began to cry There above as glist'ning tears (Weeping, weeping, no-one hears) Flutt'ring down upon the world Like soft confetti deftly hurled Oh to see her face again Then to watch her wax and wane Lost to sight her Imbrian sea So sweetly named Tranquility Gone the night-time's wondrous glow Tides no longer ebb and flow Months shall cease and days decline As now the moon no more will shine Where is she, Oh where is she She whose light shone down on me Please return her to her place Suspended in the frame of space Set above and counting time O'er the mountain tops to climb Minute-hand upon the clock - Tick tock, tick tock - tick tock, tick tock -
