Rises The Moon by Liana Flores

Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same
Rises the moon
Days fade into a watercolour blur
Memories (1)________ and haunt you
But look (2)________ the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon
Oh-oh, close your weary eyes
I promise you that soon the (3)____________ comes
To (4)____________ (5)____________ summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you down just like a (6)______________ ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the moon
Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Uprooted (7)________ its garden
They'll tell you (8)________ you owe, but know (9)________ so
Rises the moon
You'll be visited by sleep
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To steal away (10)________ dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
