(A lone voice whispers)
I met my first love in June
When the full Moon
Ruled the night sky
Like Zeus
And those sweet memories will always remain
Even now,
Since she's gone and I feel such pain.
The Heavens light
I know
Will shine soon again
Lighting up the Moon
As we once more are reintroduced
Like on that beautiful day
We first met in June
And even though this pain follows me
Like a ghost down every lane
In the public and spiritual domains
Offering me dark fruits
Like Hera
I still march on
Carried by the memories of walking hand in hand
In such fun
Fancy free and footloose
Down so many unforgettable side streets
And that's why
Even now,
After 22 years
Of painful mental abuse
I can't say goodbye
For as I look up into the night sky
Up high
And see a full Moon
I still cry
Inside
Asking
Oh,
Why Lord
Did my true love have to die
