New Moon Tonight

(New Moon Tonight, from Beloved, Lyrics by Nicole Wilde, Music  by Juliet A. Wright, copyright 1995, all rights reserved.) New Moon Tonight

Been a Black cat Howlin’

Outside of my window

For six nights in a row

She moans all night for lack of lovin’

Don’t ask me how but I know

Maybe we’re not so different

I do my cryin’ deep inside

When it all comes down

We’ve got to move on

Without a destination we die

I’m pulling the rug from under myself

Letting go of beliefs that I’ve held

I’m saying goodbye to the ghosts of the past

There’s a new moon tonight

I’ve had voices whispering in my ear

Since the day I was born

Telling me things I should and shouldn’t do

Well thank you I’ve been warned

This faded world can’t hold a candle

To the vision in my mind

And If I could

I’d jump out of my skin

and leave this restlessness behind.

I’m pulling the rug from under myself

Letting go of beliefs that I’ve held

I’m saying goodbye to the ghosts of the past

There’s a new moon tonight
