IF YOU SEE MY MIND
If you see my mind
Please let me know
I lost it to love unkind
Oh so long ago

Happiness so fleeting
Intoxicated me
It gave me the feeling
That my soul was free

But the bill came later
Addressed to my mind
It knocked me into a crater
Of a lunar kind

Chasing happy dreams
Travelling into space
Seeking joy on moonbeams
Leaving not a trace

Leads only outward
And far, far away
No happy words are heard
No kinder, softer way

If in your lunar landings
You should encounter me
Amidst the moon dust wandering
Trying to be free

Tell me only on Earth
Can life be redeemed
Only there I'll find the mirth
Of which I only dreamed
