Luna

My dazzling lunar woman
Who feels herself to be so barren
But you are such a thing of beauty
Is this tragedy your duty
See this lovely lunar girl
Who looks so sadly on our world
All our colours just to teach you
It takes a hundred billion just to reach you
Oh, my dazzling white lunar lover
We’ll always orbit one another
Unless I inflame all your passion
Distant kiss become my mission
Your silent cry the cosmos hears
My rockets burn away your tears
If there’s a mission, I will man it
Wish me luck to leave this planet
And I so badly want to fly
So, Luna, please don’t cry
Oh Luna, I’d rather burn up in the atmosphere
Than lose you, dear Luna, for that is my greatest fear
