You and Moon Lyrics

Searching

I wore out my telescope
And I nearly gave up hope of finding anything

Discovery

Was an accidental thing

A reflection slipping in

To the corner of my eye

I saw you

And moon

And hope flooded through me

I just needed proof

I saw you and moon

I had to get closer

For a look

Alone and

A universe away

I was drawn to make my way to where the living are

My eyelids

Filled with hypnogogic shapes

And my body wracked with shakes
I travelled light years

In heart beats

I saw you and moon

Dancing together against dark blue

I saw you and moon

I never felt lonely 'til I saw you

Been making

Music

With instruments

Of science

Distracted

And happy
And so self

Reliant

Then I saw you and moon

And hope flooded through me

And I chased proof

But I left, I left too soon

'cause light is a liar

And so are you

I saw you and moon

But the image was older

Than the truth

When I arrived

I found only tombs 'cause light is a liar

Telling old truths

Having had something to aim for

Has left me lost.
