Talking to the Moon

I cry to the moon, what have I lost and how?
It happened so sharply, quickly somehow,
I must have taken my eye off the ball
I wandered totally out of gear after all.

Did this happen behind my back in a sly way
I did not notice what was going on even today,
I’ve been done upon in a cruel manner for why?
What did I do to make our love from me shy?

A thousand questions I ask of the moon basking
in a dark and mysterious sky, I am of the asking
having lost a love what have I gained for myself
pain, heartache, resentment loathing of my self.

The underhand expression of losing a loved one
like the bleeding heart left alone upon a stone,
to let the crows devour the meaning of lost love,
The moon tried to comfort me, trying from above.

"I talk to the wind but my words are all carried away"**
I have heard the song sung from 1969 up to today,
the meaning is not lost on me and I know what to say
to my lunar friend, saying the words the right way.
this is the inside of gatefold cover of – In the Court of the Crimson King – well worth a listen
