lonely days

Once upon a lonely time 

The moon fell in love with the sun 

And so you see they were lovers 

Once when they were young 

But then they grew apart, you see 

Though their love burned brighter on 

They saw each other each dawn and dusk 

One moment but never enough 

When the sun pulled her cloak away 

And the moon cast her veil on the day 

Did their eyes meet yet grimly so 

Filled with tired, practiced smiles 

And so they played this terrible game 

Of chase, and tag 

Of cat and mouse 

And of whispered I love yous 

Until one day they saw their chance 

And met in the sky for a kiss 

And the world – 

It called it an eclipse
