Lyrics
Chorus:
Moon, in the silent heaven riding
My painful secret, I’m confiding
Though you’ve heard many tales like mine before
You won’t mind listening to just one more
Moon, not a thing from you I’m hiding
This is the point that needs deciding
Tell me as man to man, how will it be?
Is there a chance that she’ll love me?
Chorus:
Moon, in the silver heaven shining
Though I look strong, I’m really pining
At my emotions I hardly can hint
I’d rather marry her than own the mint
My health the thing is undermining
I sit and mope instead of dining
I’ll go and throw myself into the sea
If I find out she won’t love me
