歌词Alone she lays waiting
Surrounded by gloom
Invaded by shadows
Painting the room
The light from the window
Cuts through the air
And pins the child lying there
Scared of the moon
She pulls up the covers
And shivers in fright
She hides from the colour
That rides on the night
The light through the window
That lights up the sky
And causes her moanful cry
Scared of the moon
There’s nothing wrong
Don’t be bothered they said
It’s just childish fantasies turning your head
No need to worry
It’s really too soon
But there she lies shivering
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
The years go by swiftly
And soon childhood ends
But life is still fearful
When evening descends
The fear of the child
Still intrude the night
Returning on beams of ligh
tScared of the moon
The feeling of terror
She felt as a youth
Has turned from a fantasy
Into a truth
The moon is the enemy
Twisting her soul
And taking its fearful toll
Scared of the moon
But now there are others who sit here alone
And wait for the sunlight to brighten their gloom
Together they gather
Their lunacy shared
But knowing just why they’re scared
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
歌曲简介"Scared Of The Moon"也正是当时MJ与Buz Kohan合作产生的一系列歌曲之一。在钢琴和竖琴的伴奏下,迈克尔的嗓音尽显威力。在充满深情唱段中,我们只能在他给我们带来的美之幻境中完全陶醉。这首歌曲结合了童谣和假声演唱的特色,迈克尔在其中讲了一个故事:一个小女孩从小害怕月光,但在成长中,她慢慢发现月亮也怕小孩子。总而言之,"Scared Of The Moon"探询了多年以来虽随年华流逝但却依然长留心底的那一份纯真。(引用)[2]
