Moon
She said look at the moon it's like a fingernail clipping
A sliver of light in the cold black sky
I gave her my coat, held her close and she cried
And as the sun came up over the jagged skyline
The silence amplified our beating hearts
And I didn't answer when she asked why
One life to live, many paths to take
One twists and turns and falls away
And flowers bloom in brilliant light and fade into the night
So much to lose or so it seems
These idle games and children's dreams
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
I just keep moving on into the unknown
And I go walking alone near the St. Augustine bell
Been thinking about you since you went away
We used to sit here and watch as the shadows played
And if I try real hard I can remember that sound
Ringing out just like a clarion
Echoing off the wall of the dark arcade
One life to live, many paths to take
One twists and turns and falls away
And flowers bloom in brilliant light and fade into the night
So much to lose or so it seems
These idle games and children's dreams
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
I just keep moving on into the unknown
And now being alone feels like I'm holding my breath
I try to be cool, I try to push it down
I walk like I know where we're going on a Friday night
And the city streets are the veins of a beast
Yeah it's always tired but it never sleeps
I cry with the sirens, dance with the freaks, c'mon
I'm getting on into the unknown
A sliver of light in the cold black sky
I gave her my coat, held her close and she cried
And as the sun came up over the jagged skyline
The silence amplified our beating hearts
And I didn't answer when she asked why
One life to live, many paths to take
One twists and turns and falls away
And flowers bloom in brilliant light and fade into the night
So much to lose or so it seems
These idle games and children's dreams
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
I just keep moving on into the unknown
And I go walking alone near the St. Augustine bell
Been thinking about you since you went away
We used to sit here and watch as the shadows played
And if I try real hard I can remember that sound
Ringing out just like a clarion
Echoing off the wall of the dark arcade
One life to live, many paths to take
One twists and turns and falls away
And flowers bloom in brilliant light and fade into the night
So much to lose or so it seems
These idle games and children's dreams
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
I just keep moving on into the unknown
And now being alone feels like I'm holding my breath
I try to be cool, I try to push it down
I walk like I know where we're going on a Friday night
And the city streets are the veins of a beast
Yeah it's always tired but it never sleeps
I cry with the sirens, dance with the freaks, c'mon
I'm getting on into the unknown
