I stand on the moon
to turn out the lights
one
by
one
a pinch of my fingers
and darkness comes
soon
there’s
none
the stars that twinkled
have gone to sleep
a hug and a kiss
their dreams to keep
the flickering sky
is safe in bed
hush hush and goodnight
my sleepy head
I stand on the moon
to turn out the lights
one
by
one
and soon
there’s
none
