Lyrics

Moonstone glows with secret light,

an ember in the August night.

Moon rose in the midnight sky;

reflection made the darkness bright.

We whispered secrets soft and bold

of histories long grown dead and cold.

Wind swept down from glacial snows

left from an ice age long ago.



Light found stone, a softened glow—

lit mountains standing in a row.

Moonlight struck a sacred space,

revealing your warmth and grace.

I believed you saw me, too,

and offered you my soft caress.

But what I knew eluded you;

your shadow fell upon my breast.



We stood close as breezes blew—

was love ignited quick and true?

Now I know how dreams can fade,

and wonder if you were afraid.



Was I a fool or was I mad

to feel this love I’d never had;

but love was flame under the sand

flung carelessly from your cold hand.

Your refusal killed the glow—you as cold as winter snow.

Rejection burned me like a brand

and startled, I withdrew my hand.



Believing love well placed in you,

believing you had known it, too,

I saw hot embers clear and bright,

and shooting stars in starlit night;

but you wore Moonstone’s deathly hue,

cold as ice and ghostly blue.

Quietly I played my part,

silenced as you broke my heart.



chorus



We stood close as shrill winds blew—

was love ignited quick and true?

Sometimes when I sing this song,

I believe I was not wrong.
