Friend
Spring And The Land Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I shun the sunlight
I thrive in the gloom
Waiting 'til purple shadows fall
For my friend the moon

I hate the daybreak
Night ends too soon
I walk the streets to be alone

With my friend the moon

Nobody knows my heartache
None but that smiling face
Watching my lonely heart break
From a million miles away
In icy outer space

One day I'll join him
And like bride and groom
For all eternity I'll be close
To my friend the moon

And some day I'll join him
And like bride and groom
For all eternity I'll be close
To my friend the moon

For all eternity I'll be close
My friend the moon

I shun the sunlight
I avoid being in bright spaces

I thrive in the gloom
I find comfort and happiness in darkness

Waiting 'til purple shadows fall
I wait until the sky turns dark and the shadows are long

For my friend the moon
To be with the moon who is a comfort to me

I hate the daybreak
I dislike when the day is about to start

Night ends too soon
I think that the night hours passes quickly

I walk the streets to be alone
I roam the roads to be by myself

With my friend the moon
In the company of the moon as it gives me peace

Nobody knows my heartache
No one could understand my pain

None but that smiling face
Except the face of the moon which is always smiling

Watching my lonely heart break
The moon watches me suffer from heartbreak
