This song came to me one night when the moon was shining so brightly in my window that it woke me up. I laid there looking out the window and knew that I had to get up and take in this moment in full consciousness. This song is the result.

In the Shadow of the Moon
© 2021 by Craig Mecham
Moonlight finds my sleepy eyes
Wakes me up and bids me rise
Past silver light the darkness lies
In the shadow of the moon
In the shadow of the moon
See clearly in the lesser light
There is no color in my sight
All is grey and black and white
In the cold and lonely room
In the shadow of the moon
1st CHORUS:
In the shadow of the moon
In the quiet and the gloom
I still only dream of you
And pray I’ll see you soon
In the shadow of the moon
These days I walk in shadows dark
With careful steps I seek my part
I stumble and again I start
I hope to stay in tune
In the shadow of the moon
These moments do not linger long
But quiet sadness still goes on
The morning light shows right and wrong
The sun is rising soon
In the shadow of the moon
2nd CHORUS:
In the shadow of the moon
In the quiet and the gloom
I still only dream of you
And pray I’ll see you soon
In the shadow of the moon
