lyrics

My love is tired and it’s no secret I’m more lost than found
All of the words that I speak, they’re just hollow sounds to me
Every time I think “oh life is grand”
There’s a whisper, just before it’s gets out of hand
And we’re once more unto the breach my friend
One small sniff of that Autumn wind
And we both come running back again
You can’t pretend it’s too soon
That it’s not the moon

For though there were times when the Sun was high
I wouldn’t say he’s alone in that sky, oh no

Now that there’s time I lift my eyes to the moon
And I can see how it’s tied me to you
All of those signs that my mind might have moved
I couldn’t see for my eyes were on the moon

Yes there were times when the Sun was high
I wouldn’t say he’s alone in that sky
All of those days and all of the nights
I have tried with all of my might to choose
Then if it’s not the moon, let it be you
