The Moon Shines on Me
by David GarnerI am more than awake.
I feel alive.
The moon shines on me at 4:55
Lunar addiction.
I need this fix.
The moon shines on me at 4:56
I feel the galaxy.
I am the heaven.
The moon shines on me at 4:57
This is to be.
I owe it to fate.
The moon shines on me at 4:58
Into my nerves.
All down my spine.
The moon shines on me at 4:59
My instrument hums.
As if I were a harp.
The moon shines on me at 5:00 sharp
This is my dream.
For this I will strive.
The moon shines on me at a minute past 5
"I love you, David."
"Moon, I love you."
The moon shines on me at 5:02
"I give you light.
So you can feel free."
The moon shines on me at 5:03
The best alarm clock.
Need I say more?
The moon shines on me at 5:04
I'm still awake.
And yes, I'm alive.
The moon shines on me at 5:05
