Moon Song

I am familiar with the ties that bind
The sands of time
The rhythm make you move and wind
I am familiar with the blood you let
The tears you wept
The secrets that your lips they kept
I am familiar with the pain of thought, the drugs they bought
Necessities I'm easily wrought
I am familiar with the blackest black
It's rope no slack
The answers right behind your back

I am familiar with the ties that bind
The sands of time
The rhythm make you move and wind
I am familiar with the blood you let
The tears you wept
The secrets that your lips they kept
I am familiar with the pain of thought
The drugs they bought
Necessities I'm easily wrought
I am familiar with the blackest black
It's rope no slack
The answers right behind your back

I love you in the real way
(The no hands on the wheel way)
The make me scream and squeal way
(S&P to my meal way)
I love you in the real way
(Can't hardly even deal way)
Beg borrow and steal way
(The cut you so you heal way)
I love you in the real way
(The not always ideal way)
The fervor and the zeal way
(The lean until you kneel way)
I love you in the real way
I love you in the real way

I love you in the real way
The real way
I love you in the real way

How do you love what your emptiness has wrought
The ties that bind were woven before the first drink was bought
You were gifted what I lack, the promise that I had your back
In a real way
Through the dark daze you anchored me when I was the storm
I shielded you from the harm
I am familiar with the pain, the sacrifices, the uphill gain
Like Sisyphus in the rain
If you love him in a real way, my love
Then stay
True to what you know, hold on and don't let go
When the clouds part and the dark recedes
Give the love what it needs... The real way
