The Sun erstwhile waited
For the Moon to glow
He waxed and waned,
And wooed and wailed
But she never showed
The Sun erstwhile waited
For the Moon to glow
He waxed and waned,
And wooed and wailed
But she never showed
Sure as the Atlantic tide
Sure as MY Cam will collide
Sure as winter harbours spring
Sure as ends are beginnings
Sure as I could ever be,
That moon will bring you back to me
The moon told me you needn’t hide
She said that she had turned your tide
And this year, you’d hit your stride
When the time comes
That you need to talk,
I’ll collect your words
And then carve them in rock
When the time comes
That you need to rest,
I will bury your heart
Inside of my chest
When the time comes
That you need to be free
I will give your body
Back to the sea
When the time comes
That you say goodbye
I will breathe your spirit
I will send it moon-high
I never dreamt of kissing you
Or lingered on your touch
I never thought when you stay home
That I’d miss you, as such
But I’ve been writing in the dark
And I’ve been dreaming in the light
I’ve been thinking all the wrongs of love
Could somehow make a right
I’ve been spending my time scribbling
Lines of goofy poetry
You’ve been standing right here humming
Me a tune that’s in my key
I’ve been living off the fake stuff
For so long I may not know
What the real thing’s gonna taste like
So I’m gonna take this slow
I’ve been sleeping with the moon
I’ve been staring at the sun
I’ve been thinking lovers’ hardships
Were how lovers’ hearts are won
And if we never get that kiss
We never plant this seed
I’m grateful you showed me the way
And for your company
Sailing through the sky
Navigated by our cosmos
When she’s full upon the Earth
Elysian follows to be followed
Some nights when you are stalwart
My blood does ebb and flow
I’ve sent 3,000 ships from port
Ruddered by your glow
The moon told me she heard your song;
The fears you carried all were wrong
And she’d dispel them, everlong
By each astronomical dawn
30,000 feet above,
Life isn’t what it seems
Between the moon and cotton clouds
Is where he’s hid his dreams
That moon’s a slice of lemon pie
The light that dark cannot disguise
The hello to end all my goodbyes
