Moonlight
The soft trees, try to hide
Like I always do,
Starlight
Come on night
Sweet night
Sweet angel
Starlight
Come on night
I’m in the garden
Bring the light
A stones throw,

I’d work all my life and I will
To win you I’d stand naked, stoned and stabbed
I’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever [...]
