Why, the moon knows.
Why did you cry last night?
The moon knows, why?
It was you who left me.
I was not enough, I know
I was half loved, every time
Tried to fix my blurred,
Faded and incomplete way
Just a quadrupled gesture
Just an outraged and withered
Part that has faded me,
Plucked me out.
It was just hard to unlove .
Never can the sun shine,
To end the never ending gloom.
