“Somewhere on the other side of this wide night
and the distance between us, I am thinking of you.
The room is turning slowly away from the moon.”

“Death is the side of life which is turned away from us.”

“Somewhere other than the night
She needs to hear I love you.
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to know you care.
She wants to know she's needed,
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night.”

“In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left.
While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune,
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room.”

“It's a full moon here tonight, which makes me think of you. Because, I know that no matter what I am doing or where I am, this moon will always be the same size as yours, half a world away.”

“Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon.”

“But I will turn my eyes from you
As women turn to put away
The jewels they have worn at night
And cannot wear in sober day.”

“I didn't go to the moon, I went much further—for time is the longest distance between two places”

“I turn and I slowly walk away and I don't look back. It has always been a fault of mine, but it is the way I am. I never look back. Never.”

“I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.”
