Story behind the song

This was written as an explaination from a woman to her lover, its a glimpse into why a woman on the rebound can come across as desperate. I wanted to illustrate how deep the need can go when one feels abandoned, ie "Sir could you spare, just a portion a spark"
and how though she seeks love in this man she longs for her first love still and moarns his loss- "O love sing me songs of the moon"

Lyrics

Just a girl, when I married, I had ner turned 19
my life was my husband and home 
Oh I squandered my youth on the promise of bliss 
and believed that my love would not roam 
believed that my love would not roam 

T'was a time he did love me and call me his own 
and forever did promise his kiss 
But the moon called him on, my gypsy he's gone
 With my heart oh my love was remiss 
now i long for the warmth of a kiss 

So sir could you spare just a portion, a spark 
For my loves light has faded too soon 
He is gone and I'm left in the cold and the dark 
He was called by the light of the moon 
My loves lost to the light of the moon. 

Oh the rush heavy tick, of my heels on the floor 
the clock chimes the life I have missed 
I'm flung into this night, by a longing for more 
Seeking light in the warmth of a kiss,
seeking light in the warmth, 

So sir could you spare just a portion, a spark 
For my loves light has faded too soon 
He has gone and I'm left in the cold and the dark 
He was called by the light of the moon 
My loves lost to the light of the moon. 

O sir could you spare just a portion, a spark 
For my loves light has faded too soon 
Will you waltz with me now for a moment tonight 
and sing me sweet songs of the moon, 
O love, sing me songs of the moon.
