Moonshine - David Myles

Moon shines down beyond the city lights

Casting shadows on the streets below

We walk together searching for the stars

Beyond the skyline we’ve come to know

Moon shines down upon your pale face

Like a flower belonging to no time nor place

A painter may paint it, a writer may write

But they’re still imitations of your beauty tonight

The grass still grows through the cracks in the street

Reminding us of what lies beneath

Like a prisoner whose mind is free

We can’t cover the beauty that lies at our feet
