lyrics

When the moon has come
To lull us to sleep
We escape through the garden
To hear crickets sing
Let them welcome you home

But the show must go on
In lamp light
So come and sing us your songs
In lamp light

Moonlight spills across the courtyard floor
And she's dancing and twirling
Like a phantom amore
It's so welcoming
Let it welcome you home

In the greenery
She spoke secretly
Of where she longs to be
It's a place in a dream

On the balcony
She waits and thinks only
Of where she longs to be
It's a place in a dream
