The moon told me you shouldn’t wait
Don’t hold back, don’t hesitate
She said to give it all you’ve got
And she’d match you, down to the jot
The moon told me you shouldn’t wait
Don’t hold back, don’t hesitate
She said to give it all you’ve got
And she’d match you, down to the jot
The moon told me that you could sigh
For all these heavy-heart goodbyes
And she’d put wind back in your sails
When you were ready to inhale
When you fear you’ve lost your way
Your compass spinning in this fray
Find the truest North that lies within
The truest North; where you begin
If I could save you from yourself
If rich in Life meant rich in Health
If Future’s past could be foretold
If Lost and Found were bought and sold
If Space and Time were less stretched out
If Faith could swallow all of Doubt
If you could make Falsehood see Truth
I swear that I would come save you
So it hurt for a while,
Things felt a little raw.
So it was the kind of winter
That can take years to thaw.
So you chipped at my edges,
I feel better rounded out.
So you left me without water,
Baby, I survived the drought.
So you said I was a dream, love,
And now you’re all grown up.
So you fractured my heart:
Well, that’s how it opened up.
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’m giving in
Not giving up
You’re still here
Some days, that’s enough
Sometimes I wonder, why you went asunder
When two young boys needed thee
Even souls free of strife, can’t make much of a life
With their bodies buried at sea
Then I hear your voice, giving me the choice
What kind of woman will I be?
And I pray to my father, come hell and high water,
It’s your blood that runs through me
When you’ve found you’ve lost your voice
Your refrain muffled in this noise
Say the truest thing inside your heart
The truest thing, that’s where we’ll start
