It takes cheerful resignation
  Heart and humility
  That's all it takes
  A cheerful person told me
  Nobody's harder on me than me
  How could they be
  And, nobody's harder on you than you
  Betsy's blue
  She says-"Tell me something good!"
  You know I'd help her out if I only could
  Oh, but sometimes the light
  Can be so hard to find
  At least the moon at the window--
  The thieves left that behind
  People don't know how to love
  They taste it and toss it
  Turn it off and on
  Like a bathtub faucet
  Oh sometimes the light
  Can be so hard to find--
  At least the moon at the window--
  The thieves left that behind
  I wish her heart
  I know these battles
  Deep in the dark
  When the spooks of memories rattle
  Ghosts of the future
  Phantoms of the past
  Rattle, rattle, rattle
  In the spoon and the glass
  Is it possible to learn
  How to care and yet not care--
  Since love has two faces
  Hope and despair
  And pleasure always turns to fear
  I find--
  At least the moon at the window--
  The thieves left that behind
  At least they left the moon
  Behind the blind
  Moon at the window
