Lyric

In the hollow silence, the light begins to fall

The moon is watching, saying nothing at all

Shadows stretching long across the ancient cobblestones

The sound of distant footsteps fades, leaving me alone

The biting air of midnight brushes deep against my chest

As light begins to filter through the gaps where mind can rest

Looking up to find that perfect circle in the white

Beautiful and wordless in the middle of the night

Wrapping up the city and the lives within the deep

Tucking in the busy world while everybody sleeps

The buzzing noise is gone, the wind has ceased to blow

And time begins to bleed into a gentle, steady flow

Like the moonlight falling on the water’s edge so clear

The silence is a mirror for the heart to hold so near

Shining not for anyone, but glowing just because

That is how the prayer of the moon has always was

The moonlight is a guide through the curtains of the dark

Lighting up the road ahead to find a tiny spark

Without a single sound, so tender and so grand

Holding all the world within the hollow of its hand

Dancing on the tiled roofs, the silver light is pale

The sparrow’s nest is hushing now behind a misty veil

I am not alone even in this solitude I find

If the moon is watching me, then I will be just fine

The shadow of the shrine where the lanterns used to glow

The ringing of a bell that the wind begins to blow

Carrying the wishes that a stranger left behind

A story told by silence for the lonely soul to find

Listening to the voices that have never made a sound

The moon just nods its head to the secrets it has found

The moonlight illuminates the corners of the street

Where colors and the melodies begin to melt and meet

Neither crying out in pain nor laughing in the sun

Just a simple truth of life before the day’s begun

The moonlight shows the shadows that are hiding in the heart

A night that feels so fragile, it could easily fall apart

Even so, the people start to walk another mile

Heading for the morning with a weary, hopeful smile

The light creates the shadow, and the shadow gives us form

The outline of our living starts to glow and keep us warm

You and I and everyone, the world we’re living in

Underneath the same old moon, where everything begins

The moonlight is a river flowing silent and so wide

We don’t need any words in this moment, nowhere left to hide

Embracing every prayer and every pain we ever knew

The night is smiling softly now, for me and all of you

The moon is watching quietly, saying nothing at all

And just by being there, it saves me from the fall
