The moon, alone, the sky, alone,
The moon, alone, the sky, alone,
Where do hearts meet, and find aloneness?
Where do hearts meet, and find aloneness?
The moon, alone.

Hope extinguished, star concealed,
Hope extinguished, star concealed,
Smoke still choked, alone, it reeled,
Smoke still choked, alone, it reeled,
The moon, alone.

Is this, then, what life truly is?
Is this, then, what life truly is?
Body alone, and soul, alone,
Body alone, and soul, alone,
The moon, alone.

Even if a companion should appear,
Even if a companion should appear,
Both walk on, alone, and alone,
Both walk on, alone, and alone,
The moon, alone.

Beneath the flickering, fading light,
Beneath the flickering, fading light,
A home shrinks, alone in the night,
A home shrinks, alone in the night,
It will watch the path for centuries,
It will watch the path for centuries,
And we'll leave this world, alone,
And we'll leave this world, alone,
And we'll leave this world, alone.
