(Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset)

|
I watch the sun going down
|
While I stand on sacred ground.
|
Where once the night found us.
|
In the twilight of our love.
|
You said you'd meet me here.
|
But I'm all alone.
|
You sounded so sincere.
|
Well did you lead me on.
|
|
I told the starry sky to wait for you.
|
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.
|
I even told the night that you were true.
|
And you would be here soon.
|
And now I'm lying to the moon.
|
|
And so the night takes me in.
|
Like a sympathetic friend.
|
And sends away the trees.
|
And the willow weeps for me.
|
The shadows fool my eyes.
|
And I think I see you.
|
Then they start to cry.
|
Don't you know that they believed you
|
|
I told the starry sky to wait for you.
|
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.
|
I even told the night that you were true.
|
And you would be here soon.
|
And now I'm lying to the moon.
