Lost in the moonlight on the edge of my mind
Lost among the stars searching for a dream
A purpose
The pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow

How do you reach the stars when they are so far?
Even in your mind they are not flesh
Shackled to time and racing across the abyss
Leaving only stardust to follow

Following tomorrow against the unknown ahead
Memories behind
With a dream for a guide, desire to push you on
And the moonlight on my face

Awakening on the cusp of midnight
Beneath a blanket of stars
With the moon smiling down
She’ll be here tomorrow night the old man winks
