Moonlight
B. King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've been stuck between these same four walls
Swallow the pain, feelings fade away
Everything has become a painfully dull grey
When I broke free, you were standing in front of me
The moonlight shaping your face clearly
And beaming bright you squeezed my hand tight
You didn't want to leave me behind
Colours my way forward
My past far behind me
As we both go onward
No longer afraid of
Being stuck away from
And not being nearby
The way you make my heart strum
A flash of fire emits from your hair
Sunny forests bloom in your eyes
I haven't felt this way in a terribly long time
Free to think, free to feel
The hue of the moonlight
Colours my way forward
My past far behind me
As we both go onward
No longer afraid of
Being stuck away from
And not being nearby
The way you make my heart strum
