Everything I Do, For You Alone in the Moonlight

By Claudia List

In the moonlight

I have drowned for you

in the ocean which I cried

and then I did remain for you

after the waters had dried.

In the moonlight

I have danced for you

knocked loudly on death's door

Hysterically I have laughed for you

For I could dance no more.

In the moonlight

I have performed for you

A brilliant play I t must be said

A scene straight from my life for you.

It ends - I'm cold and dead.

In the moonlight

I have thanks for you.

The person as who I've been reborn

the one who owes so much for you

For, I've lost my sense to mourn.

In the moonlight

I have searched for you

To give you a great reward

A glistening dagger I made for you

To dispose of this fine Lord.

In the moonlight

I have killed for you.

No the rich to give you wealth

But when my beating heart you stole for you

I became the slayer of myself.

In the moonlight

I have love for you

Hard to see, for emptiness the winds have blown.

but, Because of all I feel for you

I have drowned alone.
