As I lie and watch the moon
on the lonely sea,
Watch it tug the lonely tide
like a comforter over me,
The still and faceless moon
fills the beach tonight
with only a ghost of day,
All shadow gray, and moonbeam white.
And you lie alone tonight,
As alone as I;
Lonely girl in your lonely flat, well, that's where it's at,
so hush your lonely cry.
How can I come to you, put out the moon, send back
the tide?
