SHE'S NOT ME
Music & Lyrics by Michael Mott

Sometimes late at night there's a lonely girl
Hiding from the shadows of the day
Weeping in her sheets for this lonely world
For she can't find her way

Sometimes late at night she is wide awake
Ready to transcend this world and soon
Rising from her bed, she knows who she is
And at once becomes the moon.

Now, she's rising, floating, flying.
For a moment she is free
As she's floating, flying, drifting away
I can see she's not me

Every single day I drift through my life,
Aching for the freedom of the sky.
Everything I am is in that lonely moon
And I long to show her why

For she's rising, floating, flying!
For a moment she is free.
As she's floating, flying, drifting away
I can see she's not me.

How I long to follow her
And long to ride the wind,
I know I can not hold her down.

She is free, yet frozen there
And I cannot compare.
For she is floating
As I drown.

Sometimes late at night there's a lonely girl
Aching for the freedom of the sky...
