Beyond the Moon Lyrics

"Beyond the moon" by Netsayi Chigwendere

"I remember you, like you were on that day
when we had no concept of the future
laughing like we might see each other again.
I don't want to idealise you in your absence
though I'm inclined, it's been so long.
These hands are strong as you remember
and they're holding on.
To the memory of a time we knew, way back.
Some are good some are bad
as far as I can surmise, but don't be surprised
that they're holding on
Beyond the moon, beyond the stars
that's what you are to me
You left your legacy
I don't want to idealise you in your absence
but you leave me little choice
The way you sang to me when you sang to me
in your sweet falsetto voice
suspended on invisible chords
-"he was a man of few words"
-"she had me dancing to her tune"
their eyes were kind and true.
Some swing under stars to savour the sound of
moonkissed night creatures sing
Some suck on a spliff and the savour flavourful music
sweet reggae can bring.
But you stay true to who you are, my shining star.
We float,
beyond the moon, beyond the stars
that's what you are to me
you left your legacy

Beyond the moon that lies a million miles in outer-s***e
beyond the stars that light the eyes up in your face
that's what you are to me, you left your legacy
We float"
