Moonlight over Silver White

Mooonlight over silver white

Angry stars are out tonight

Glaring down on battered snow

I have nowhere else to go

Countless gentle blades of light

So pristine and always right

Solemnly reminding me

Of all the things I'll never be

Here's the silence, soft as down

Clean and lonely

Sleep, and it's over

Blink, and it's done

Bright are those cold lights

As they laugh at anyone

Moonlight over silver white

Feel the noise subside

Here's the moment when you know:

There'll be no one by your side for this

Moonlight over silver white

Angry stars that burn too bright

Catch my breath and let it go

Fade like footprints in the snow

Endless quiet, vast and old

Clean and lonely

Sleep, and it's over

Blink, and it's done

Bright are those cold lights

The blinding stare of a winning hand

And it laughs at everyone

Moonlight over silver white
