It takes cheerful resignation
|
Heart and humility
|
That's all it takes
|
A 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
|
And pleasure always turns to fear
|
I find-
|
At least the moon at the window-
|
The thieves left that behind
|
At least they left the moon
|
Behind the blind
|
Moon at the window
|

Moon At The Window
