The Lonely Ghost

Starlight, moonlight, lightless sky

Red sun, bleeding, here I lie

Darkness shining, darkness falls

Sunlight fading from the walls

Misty shadows, daylight flees

Graveyard, gravestones, let me be

Darkness creeping, darkness seeks

What it wants is what I keep

Slowly, slowly, watch and learn

Fuel the fire, let it burn

Higher, higher, till it flies

Flames go up until it dies

Harvest, reaping, autumn chills

Falling, drifting, colored rills

Thoughtful, wander leafless trees

Aching, flee before the freeze

Empty barrows, empty beds

Plenty more to fill the sheds

Children running, children sleep

Who they are is what I keep

Starlight, moonlight, lightless sky

Red sun rising, here am I

Darkness fading, darkness flees

Morning dispels all unease

Under dark or daylight sky

Graveyard, gravestones, here I lie
