You've Gotta Love the Moon

When an overburdened moon runs aground on the skyline
She goes down quiet, graceful and slow
No kicking or screaming, no fiery theatrics
No-one applauds or cries to see her go

You've gotta love the moon
The baby sister to the sun
When she finally steps out of the shadows
And shines on this party of one
When she shines on this party of one

When the moon and the sun take the stage together
There's no mistaking the star of the show
But for all of us outliers who run from the spotlight
We can't take our eyes from moon's diffident glow

You've gotta love the moon
When the sun's swan song is sung
Sometimes she'll give a sad soliloquy in the night
For this party of one
In the night for this party of one

The moon and me have a history
Of too many long nights when sleep will not come
When it feels like the whole world and everyone in it
Has gone off without me, they've packed up and run

You've gotta love the moon
When the long day is done
Alone in the dark she's good company
When she shines on this party of one
When she shines on this party of one
When she shines on this party of one
