But For The Moon


/Saw you sitting there
with a white rose in your hair..
sharing more than a drink with him...
you were supposed to be at the gym.../

/I refuse to play your game of let's pretend..
I know that he is more than just a casual friend..
The private eye told me that you two meet here
everyday...
at a dark booth in this small cafe../

/But for the moon, I'd go out of mind
over you...
If it wasn't for the full moon...I'd go
out of my mind, cryin..over you./

/Your credit card bill says you two use the
same hotel..
it doesn't carry the stench of your lies
or the deceitful smell.../

/You look sweetly into my eyes
and angelically lie..
I've got the photos my sweet,
so kiss our relationship goodbye../

/But for the moon, I'd go out of my mind
over you..
But for the moon, I'd go out of my mind
over you../

/The moon is full, the summer night is hot...
I walk the streets, talking to myself nonstop..
I convince myself to just walk away, a fool...
but for the moon...
but for the moon.../

/You look sweetly in my eyes
and you angelicly lie..
I've got the photos my sweet
so kiss our relationship goodbye../

/But for the moon,
I'd go out of my mind..
over you..
I'd go out of my mind..
over you./

Thank goodness for the moon!
Again this could be the closing lament of one of the miniseries.
The art helps to explain his struggle. as she obviously won't be with him any longer yet she has choices 'cause she ok looking. Ok well maybe she's fine!
