Moonlight Lovers

In the quiet of the farm, late at night
She slips out of bed, in the pale moonlight
Her heart beats faster with every step she takes
Behind the barn where her young lover waits

Her husband sleeps, unaware of her pain
Of a love that’s cold, one she can't sustain
In the arms of a farmhand, she feels alive
In his touch, she finds the will to survive

Moonlight lovers, meet under the sky
Stolen moments, with time rushing by
They know the risk, one day they will fall
Yet in the other's embrace, they give their all

In the hayloft, where shadows dance
She finds her release in a stolen romance
His whispers soft, his touch so warm
In his arms, she forgets the coming storm

She knows one night, her man will wake
To find her gone, his heart will break
But each special night she feels desire
A rekindling of a forgotten fire

Moonlight lovers, meet under the sky
Stolen moments, with time rushing by
They know the risk, one day they will fall
Yet in the other's embrace, they give their all

The stars above, they hold their breath
Witness to their secret, to love and death
Every night, they take anew love's dance
Will their luck run out, fate decides the chance

Moonlight lovers, meet under the sky
Stolen moments, with time rushing by
They know the risk, one day they will fall
Yet in the other's embrace, they give their all

As dawn approaches, she slips into bed
Her heart heavy, with words unsaid
In the light of day, she plays her part
But it is in the moonlight, she follows her heart
