Moonlight's shining,
Leaving everything to glow.

I think it's nice,
I tell you so.

But you're not laughing,
Just following me

And for the first time since I know you
I can't tell you what bothers me.

You don't pop any questions,
Just sit there quiet.

When I tell you I'm leaving,
You're not even arguing.

It frightens me, makes me wonder
But then I notice you

Looking me over.

For the first time, it's not you running,
You stay right where you are.

I'm the cowardly lion
By leaving you now.

Away from my life, my friends
Even my family, it's true.

But don't ever dare to think
The reason had been you.
