An Escape Into Moonlight

Teaching my heart to follow the guide
To learn to care
A love affair
Arising scene of dare
A gentle presence that brought me in
The ice would melt, but only for them heartfelt

Alone, I'm left to count
The passing of the years
The price I chose to pay
Shielding the heart with fears
Like a wavering snowstorm in the night
I'd break the gates and escape into moonlight

Each day that passes may shed new tears
Your heart it breaks, mine it repairs
Lovers united by fears
The innocent and the sinful joined
The inner core was cold as ever, purloined

I painted my face that shade of blue
That always received a smile from you
The blue is to stay
The blue makes me stray

Alone, I'm left to count
The passing of the years
The price I chose to pay
Shielding the heart with fears
Like a wavering snowstorm in the night
I'd break the gates and escape into moonlight
Alone, I'm left to count
The passing of the decades
The price I chose to pay
Shielding the heart
Torn apart
