Lisa Bastoni: Music

There were no stars
It was the darkest dark
Boys kissed girls
On blankets in the park
I missed you then
Like an itch I could not scratch
I was alone
With a flashlight and a match
I won't beg you
This much I know
Everything was clear
In the moon's red glow

You drink too much
I know you're bad for me
And still I crave
Your company
I thought you'd be there
For the lunar eclipse
But there's a distance
Between the cup and the lips
I won't keep you
You've got places to go
Everything looks different
In the moon's red glow

In the pitch I lost my way
I watched you sparkle
Where you lay

My bad luck coin
I found you again
You are a stranger
You're my only friend
It's cold outside
But it's warm in here
I've got a good heart
And a twelve pack of beer
Are you certain
The answer is no
You wouldn't see the mess
In the moon's red glow
