You Went AWOL Moon

Moon, moon where are you, you went AWOL don't you know
I looked near and far, but you were hiding behind,

That gossamer net, like clouds, I stood around waiting just waiting 

Could not settle looking, looking for you but my dear moon, where were you. 

You went away from me, then I spied you chasing after Venus
I saw you all aligned, Mercury and Mars. But that wasn't enough for you

You had to chase Uranus, Jupiter, and Pluto to
But don't you know moon, there's an Earthling down here waiting for you 

She needs you to shine on her, don't you know you mesmerise, her

That beautiful face of yours, like no other
I looked high and low, right across the firmament
There was no sign of you moon, but I knew you were there.

I stood camera in hand to record your first entrance,
But you were playing hard to get, and left me with this imbalance
From starring up to the sky's, people thought me mad.
At times I see you there, with Venus just beside

Mars not so far away, its distinguishable by the red tinge around, it 

This alignment is amazing, I saw with my own eyes

With the help of my binoculars, It was an amazing sight,

But you see my dear, my dearest moon

Theirs a being down here. Waiting just for you

Each time you show your face, what a magnificent moon say I

You mesmerize me, so out of reach. But you now hide

Behind those gossamer clouds, you enchanting moon you.

Don't you know, you always affected my moods

I become rather irrational that's no joke.
I point you out to my children saying look at that beautiful moon,
That magnificent moon, come on my baby's howl, howl at the moon

Everyone joins like a load of banshees

Howling, howling at you.

Is it strange or not, am afraid I don't know...

but the moon, has always affected me so.
