Lying To the Moon
Twilight Deception: Love's Betrayal Under the Moonlight
Lyrics
I watch the sun going down
Observing the sunset
While I stand on sacred ground
Standing in a significant or revered place
Where once the night found us
Reflecting on past nights together
In the twilight of our love
Describing the end of their love
You said you'd meet me here
Waiting for someone who promised to meet
And I'm all alone
Feeling abandoned and alone
You sounded so sincere
Recalling a seemingly sincere promise
Did you lead me on
Questioning if there was deception
I told the starry sky to wait for you
Expressing a plea to the celestial
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
Asking elements of nature to echo the waiting
I even told the night you were true
Assuring the night of the person's faithfulness
And you would be here soon
Expecting the person to arrive soon
And now I'm lying to the moon
Admitting to falsehood, confessing to the moon
And so the night takes me in
Being embraced by the night
Like a sympathetic friend
Describing the night as understanding
And sends the wind through the trees
Portraying the wind's empathy through the trees
So the willow weeps for me
Symbolizing the willow weeping for the speaker
The shadows fool my eyes
Mistakenly seeing the person in the shadows
And I think I see you
Falsely perceiving the presence of the person
Then they start to cry
Imagined tears of the shadows due to deception
Don't you know they believed you
Asserting the shadows' belief in the person
I told the starry sky to wait for you
Repeating the plea to the starry sky
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
Requesting the wind to express longing
I even told the night you were true
Reaffirming the person's supposed truthfulness
And you would be here soon
Anticipating the person's imminent arrival
And now I'm lying to the moon
Admitting continued dishonesty to the moon
I told the starry sky to wait for you
Reiterating the plea to the starry sky
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
Asking the wind to echo the sentiments of lovers
I even told the night you were true
Restating the person's supposed truthfulness
And you would be here soon
Expressing anticipation of the person's arrival
And now I'm lying to the moon
Acknowledging ongoing deception to the moon
