Shadow On A Harvest Moon |
| Let me tell you about this torch I carry |
| It’s not much of a career |
| And it won’t make my fortune I fear |
| But it stays alight and won’t be buried |
| It’s brighter year-by-year |
| And someday it will surely disappear |
| When it does I’ll know I’ve laid to rest |
| The ghost of your unhappiness |
| That flits around from room to room |
| A widow on a honeymoon |
| A shadow on a harvest moon |
| So put away this torch you carry |
| For it’s doing you no good |
| And surely you know by now that you should |
| And come the day you die or marry |
| Will you be understood |
| When you say that you wanted but never could |
| Turn your back and lay to rest |
| The ghost of your unhappiness |
| That flits around from room to room |
| A widow on a honey moon |
| A shadow on a harvest moon |
| I write these words to make them true, |
| «I've drowned my torch and so should you.» |
