The night hangs blue on the black sea And the wind whips through your hair I've been gone for a lifetime And I followed your cries here And those cries sent me wandering And I brought what of the world that I could carry back for you Just you and I on the shoreline And the stars that shimmer on and on I'm lost without you near me Show me to the moon I don't think that I'd survive without you anyway Show me to the moon so I can keep my ills at bay Or fade into her light and wander on eternally Show me to the moon I always swore I was trying And I ruined perfect moments like the times where we would stay Awake all night between bed sheets And I loved you like the spring and I was reaching for the sun You replied with a smile And an unrequiting stare that sent me off through lonely weather I'll return in the summer Fall out the door before I hear you say that I'm not welcome Then, as if by song, I will reappear on some quiet winter dawn And you'll be tired, so tired of singing along
