shadow on A harvest moon

Let me tell you about this torch
I carry Its not much of a career
And it wont make my fortune
I fear But it stays alight and won't be buried
It's brighter year-by -year
And someday it will surely disappear
When it does
I'll know
I've laid to rest
The ghost of your unhappiness
That flits around from room to room
A widow on a honeymoon
A shadow on a harvest moon
So put away this torch you carry
For its doing you no good
And surely you know by now that you should
And come the day you die or marry
Will you be understood
When you say that you wanted but never could
Turn your back and lay to rest
The ghost of your unhappiness
That flits around from room to room
A widow on a honey moon
A shadow on a harvest moon
I write these words to make them true, 'Ive drowned my torch and so should you.'
