Black cloaks gather on unfamiliar ground
Blue sky
Golden leaves
No one is speaking nor weeping
Just listen to each footstep falling
Onto the soft pillow of autumn
When only comes shattering sound so distant
We are strangers
But no strange to the loss of a soul
Do I know you
Do I know you
They said she had travelled to wonderful places
A shooting star
A taste for art and noodles
A blossoming flower
We sing the Moon
Like a lullaby from the mother’s womb
Since the beginning of time
How far
could memories of
a lifetime
go
Remember on that first day
When one world broke open to the other
The Moon shined through the new-born skin
to sing you a milky white tune
You ask how deeply I love you
And just how great my love is
My affection is real
And my love is true
The moon represents my heart
The Moon sings love
Like a yearning to be full and together
At every Mid-Autumn festival
How much
would your affection
long to
stay
You ask how deeply I love you
And just how great my love is
My affection does not waver
And my love doesn’t change
The moon represents my heart
