a lonesome bat
hanging from the branches
he knows no friend
he knows no friend
as he flies through the caves
night after night
night after night
he watches the moon
designing the skies
designing the skies
the moon plays with him
hide and seek
hide and seek
one night, the moon was lost
in the maze of clouds
in the maze of clouds
the bat traveled here and there
but in vain
but in vain
hanging from the branches
a lonesome bat
