• Tonight, the moon came out, it was nearly full.
  Way down here on earth, I could feel it's pull.
  The weight of gravity or just the lure of life,
  Made me want to leave my only home tonight.

  Is it in the arc of the moon, leaving shadows on the lawn
  In the path of fireflies and a single bird at dawn
  Singing in between here and gone
