That stealing Moon.

Shut out that stealing moon
She knows too much
she takes you by the soul
shut out that stealing man
she takes, takes never to give it back.
shut out that stealing moon
She is a cold white ball
the icy steel robs me of my heart
shut out that stealing moon
the moonflowers do not grow.
They cannot.
shut out that stealing moon
she is a wicked, sly thing
that stealing moon
she brings despair
silent cries of wretches
shut out that stealing moon
her silence sits heavily on my heart
shut out that stealing moon.
she steals.
she takes.
she does not return.
that stealing moon.
coldness
and sorrow.
stealing
moon.

Sorry...it's a typo...but then, when I re-read it, I kind of liked the man instead of the moon...
