Lonely Moon - Kevin Smith

Was a child and a newcomer to the ways of the world

Eyes ablaze with the light of high noon

Just to love and to be loved was all he wanted

By the light of the lonely moon

They taught him to capture and tame wild pathos

Sold him distractions and made every day seem the same

Caught the Holy Ghost lurking in his cellar and threw Him out

Leaving just a lonely name

Soon they took everything that he lived for

So he asked them to please take his life too

They denied him existence but they let him live

In a lonely room

He would suckle at the bosom of Mother Earth

But his experience poisons that thought

He falls prey somehow

To the silence of the deep-space dark

Of this lonely blue rock

Now his path is lit only by the light of falling stars

The embers fall to scorch and cut his face

He wants to believe in his unbelief

In a lonely place

But they buried his conscience

Near to the grave of God

Sealed his soul up in a tomb of tears

And they scattered his ashes East of Eden someplace

On a lonely breeze

Was a child and a newcomer to the ways of the world

Eyes ablaze with the light of high noon

Just to love and to be loved was all he needed

By the light of the lonely moon

By the light of the lonely moon
