I saw her best by moonlight
under moonlight i kissed her hair
by dawn the memories had faded
and i long to find her there
I held her close by moonlight
And we danced till the demon dawn
I watched her slowly vanish
Until she was utterly gone

I wait for her by moonlight
But i know she will not come
She watches me by moonlight
and laughs at love gone wrong
she is the moonlight siren
And im lost beyond the throng
I will not see her by moonlight
And my heart no longer goes on

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Sad romantic longings. I can relate, as I'm sure so many can.
