She wakes up in the morning
When there's no one around
Then she staggers to the window, to see
The red sun go'n down
And as regular as the full moon
She's reminded of her youth

When a young man stole her heart
And promised stars and the moon. 

She watches through the window, a
Reflection of her life
Her face is painted over a world
That's still alive, out side. 
She watches as the night nights, move
Through the lines on her face, 

Then she looks above, dreams of love, 
Stars and the Moon. 

I wouldn't want to wheel around in her shoes
I wouldn't want to see a world waist high
I wouldn't have the courage in the morning
To raise my head..
And go outside. 

When I get home late, and I see her on the bed
Then I know, that she is alright
But she's a shadow of the girl who danced around the world
Until that, 
Took away her life
Then I wrap my arms around her
And give her a kiss, that means
Goodnight. 

Then I look above, dream of love
Stars and the Moon.
