When I was younger I waited for a thunder
A thousand angels banging on their chairs
Why of all the lightnings was never that frightening
Like cameras on flashing in the air
And oh, after it would clear
The wonders of the universe they seem so near

Lying in my backyard, had this face on skyward
I'd imagine all the things that I could be
A pilot or fighter, an astronaut or rider
Anything except just being me
And oh, the bells would start to wind
Worst came to my head and I would start to sing

With the moon as the spotlight that shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud, sounding just like a choir
And it's for hours already there
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon

Now that I'm older and life's a little colder
You're told it's a record of your dreams
Everything changes, this terror blank pages
I had the dream but couldn't find the key
But oh, some nights I hear the strings
These melodies in my head I have to sing

With the moon as the spotlight that shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud, sounding just like a choir
And it's for hours already there
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon

It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder
It keeps getting louder

With the moon as the spotlight that shines on me
And the stars were the lighters in the air
And the wind screaming loud, sounding just like a choir
And it's for hours already there
I'd howl at the moon
I'd howl at the moon...
