Lyrics
A Secret I
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Alone and I can see the moonlight and starlight
as they plant kisses on my dreams and thoughts
In moments passing by me
-- and the sound of laughing voices as they call me so softly,
"come a little closer, Darling - won't you? - and love me a little while."
And, if it seems your whole life is spent blooming, it's a miracle.
but it could happen.

I used to think death was just an ending, not a starting up.
But then a friend of mine, a man,
he up and died one Tuesday.
Now he lives inside of me and all his other friends.
And we welcome him into ourselves in a way that makes us more like him.
It's friendly gravity we're pulling on.
And the white moon told me it was so.

Alone and I will love the moonlight a little more these days.
