Moonshine

moonshine spells trouble
just as the cliche goes
but moonshine is all the better
my true heart cannot show

moonshine stays with me
moonshine does not burn
and all the images i dare dream
mere illusions in the darkness yearned

love i cannot utter
love i cannot swear
no, better keep this feeling
all unto myself

a hundred times i woke up
and just as many i have cried
because the love i dearly long for
belongs to a bride, not i
