Moon On The Mountain

You were the one that I ran to when I was child

You gave me sunshine and laughter and hope for a while

Always beside me, a shoulder to cry on

But you were a spider creeping inside of me

Watching my every move, saying you know me well

I learned to fear you and your strange devotional

We grew in hate and despair

Every concealing emotion was spent

Your words were poisonous air

And I recoiled from the love that was meant

But there was a time, when I could have loved you

The moon on the mountain shone only for you

There was a time, when I could have loved you

I could have been true, the moon on the mountain for you

You were the thorn in my side, my ribbon of red

You said you'd leave me alone but you stayed in my head

You said that you'd kill me if I ever let you down

But you were trading my secrets all over town

Tried to forgive you and see things in your domain

But you were subtle and ruthless in your cold game

I could not have been more trusting

Oh I loved you, I could not take anymore

But like any moon I wax and wane

I'm fickle when I choose to rise into the sky

Yes there was a time, when I could have loved you

The moon on the mountain shone only for you

There was a time, when I could have loved you

I could have been true, the moon on the mountain for you
