The stars hide tehmselves beneith the clouds
and the man in the moon turns his back to you
the wind goes out away from you in every direction
and you wonder what you did

didnt your smilelook real enough
  You'll havbe to practise more
Didnt you hide the fear in your eyes
 YOu'll have to try harder next time
DId you talk to fast, too slow, too much
  What was it you did

You tried, you wished, but you couldnt hide it all
the secrets must have escaped,
and they must know it all
whatcan you do, start over again?
no, its too late.

Crying just made your eyes red,
so you know it didnt work,
tears fell to often
maybe you shouldnt cry anymore
then it would change.
you can lock up your heart
tie down your fists,
and then maybe the wind
will blow through your hair again.
