Sweet Moon


How high the moon, it could perceive 
everybody‘s sleep.
In the midst of the night, plain darkness,
the moon owns an inner light…

My, oh my sweet moon, could you tell me,
where or with whom she sleeps.
Won‘t you give me, some kind of comfort,
just to lead me in my sleep ?

And what about our dreams ?
They flow within our souls
with  a power we don‘t know.
And what about her dreams ?
Gosh, I‘d like to know,
what‘s going on, in her heart…

How high the moon, it could perceive 
everybody‘s dream.
In the midst of the night, plain darkness,
the moon owns a spiritual light…

My, oh my sweet moon, could you tell me,
if she‘s lying safe in a dream.
Holy moon, if you whirl around her home,
won‘t you please take care of her soul ?

And what about our lives ?
They hang on thin lines,
with a narrowness, hard to control.
And what about our loves ?
It‘s something so obscure,
so lovely, though sometimes it swirls…

My, oh my sweet moon, could you assure me,
she‘s somewhere safe in between
The everlasting fight, I‘d give all my might,
for to see her smile again…
