Paul England - I Saw You in the Moonlight Lyrics

I saw you in the moonlight
I saw you in the rain
I saw you almost every night
Tied up beside your pain

I saw you writing sonnets
To someone you never knew
I saw your name among the poets
Who wrote sonnets about you

Where are you, my lover
Where are you, my friend
Where are you, my lover
Has our love come to an end

I saw you with the living
I saw you with the dead
I saw you while you were giving
The lambs their holy bread

I saw that you were willing
To be a summer's bride
A butcher learned of killing
While smiling at your side

Now where are you, my lover
The lambs have been brought in
Where are you, my lover
Has our love come to an end

I saw you in the white noise
I saw you in a parade
The one for ghosts and cowboys
Whose films are overplayed

I saw you in the circus
Why don't you do those tricks for me
I never knew that you could balance
On just a finger or a knee

And where are you, my lover
The lights are growing dim
Where are you, my lover
Has our love come to an end

I saw you with the ashes
I saw you with the rage
Your prisoner asks for lashes
Why don't you open up his cage

And tell him of your fantasy
Tell him each and every way
I'm sure he'd finally love to see
Your face by light of day

I see you in the moonlight
I see you in the rain
I see you almost every night
Tied up beside your pain

Oh, but where are you, my lover
You've gone from me again
Where are you, my lover
Has our love come to an end
