Moon Lyrics

She said look at the moon it's like a fingernail clipping

A silver of light in the cold black sky
I gave her my coat, held her close and she cried

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 toward 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

Oh 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
