I don't know quite what's happening
And my eyes don't see too clear
All I know is I need you here
If only to shield me from the mood of the world
And hold me and say it doesn't matter
But I'm like a child whose dreams are shattered
Crowding round me: Images of broken thought
Lines of my life now overgrown
All I can feel is I'm so alone
Without even your bright eyes to reach into my mind
And say that in my life I've done right
And I'm like a moonchild in the sunlight
So cast your thoughts upon me, wherever you are
That I may feel you close beside me
And hold your hand, for you to guide me
Through all these catacombs which freeze me with their touch
Unknowing, knowing so much, my mind cries out
And I'm like a child when the light's out
With a child's fear of the dark
