I am moonbathing on a warm night
In the pale blue light
Moonbathing on a warm night
To see the world aright

The people who keep
The money they reap
Bolt their castles to the dark
And those who weep
In their sleep
Close their shutters to the dark

If only they'd go moonbathing on a warm night
In the pale blue light
Moonbathing on a warm night
To see the world aright

There is too much joy
In this boy
To keep him from the dark
When the clock strikes twelve
He is an elf
And runs in his midnight park

He goes moonbathing on a warm night
In the pale blue light
Moonbathing on a warm night
To see the world aright

He will never be
Mercenary
He may never make his mark
But the owl will know
The deer also
The worth of the walk he walks
