Whispers in the night

The stars are swept,

are swept away

The stars are swept,

are swept away,

The stars are swept,

are swept away,

And I shine down,

shine down instead.

The moon whispers

to the winds,

"I'll caress you gently

Caress your lips"

The winds, they blush and

Blow the moon astray

The stars are swept,

are swept away.

The clouds, they wept

They wept last night

As the waters ran wild

Into the rivers and streams.

The trees sighed, drooping to their fate

Boughs heavy, under the weight

My knees were scraped,

My body ached

My sides bursting at the seams

The fog seeped through the cracks

Fading into the concrete walls

Leaving behind a dewy scent

Like bare legs on morning grass in the Fall

"Shut the windows, shut your doors"

Cries were heard down the streets

"The mist is coming, it's coming this way,

Don't you see the stars, swept away?"
