"The Moon and I (Demo)" lyrics

"The Moon and I (Demo)"

On page ninety-three, there is a song called "The Moon and I"
Yentl's deception cannot continue any longer
Her relationship with Hadass has become far more complicated
Than she ever could imagine
At night, after putting Hadass to sleep
Yentl sings a song that expresses her longing for Avigdor
Later, down by the river, Yentl conducts her own private immersion
Veiled by the night, with the moon as her only witness

For though it seems
That I'm the one who's wise
I've learned so much from you
For in the heart
A deeper wisdom lies
A world that I never knew

The moon and I
We know each other well
I'm safe beneath its light
It passes by
And sees but doesn't tell
The secrets of the night
Like the sweet forbidden feelings deep inside me
The longing for the lover who's denied me
To feel him beside me
The moon and I
Pretend he's in my arms
Each night it hears me cry
And when I sleep, I dream that soon
I'll tell my love some sunlit afternoon
What no one knows but the moon and I

And just as the sea with its tides
I'm tied to the moon
When it's full, so am I
The moon and I
Pretend he's in my arms
Each night it hears us cry
And when I sleep, I dream that soon
I'll tell my love some sunlit afternoon
What no ones knows but the moon and I
