Lyrics

Can't Keep My Mind From You

Sullen moon,
Shine on me tonight,
Give me reason,
Give me peace of mind,
Haven't slept in weeks,
How, idle minds, they brew,
I never wanted this,
Now I can't keep my mind from you.

Sullen moon,
Glide across my sky,
Give me answers,
Let me close my eyes,
Haven't slept in weeks,
What empty hours will do,
I never wanted this,
Now I can't keep my mind from you.

Suddenly,
There's a voice from my history,
Looming louder,
Bearing down on me.
Won't let me sleep.

Sullen moon,
Set in ebony,
Drifting westward,
Are you leaving me,
Haven't slept in weeks,
How, idle minds, they brew,
I never wanted this,
Now I can't keep my mind from you.

Haven't slept in weeks,
What empty hours can do,
I never wanted this,
Now I can't keep my mind from you.

I can't keep my mind from you,
And the moon is sullen.
