Well, the moon I know and the town I live
Steady as she waits
Seems as though she yearns for me
Calls me by my name
Sometimes she says "Come to me"
"Kiss me while it's late"
And other nights she's just hangin'
With the stars
And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes and
What if he never comes when you call?
And ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "It's all right" she says
Once upon a time I lived the perfect life
Ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "In another life" she says
In a dream of mine from 1,000 years ago
"Don't look back," I heard her voice, and know that I couldn't see
The pictures then were black and white and the details were in between
I heard about a woman once who did everything ever asked of her
She died last week and her last words were, 'It wasn't worth it'
And I've seen her patience through all her mistakes and
Whoooo's gonna save you now?
Ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "It's all right" she says
Once upon a time I lived the perfect life
Ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "In another life" she says
In a dream of mine from 1,000 years ago
Ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "It's all right" she says
Once upon a time I lived the perfect life
Ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "In another life" she says
In a dream of mine from 1,000 years ago
Ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "It's all right" she says
Ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "In another life" she says
Way back when we became friends
I was you, you were my defense
And quiet was the night
Show me that bridge and it brought you home
You told me about it and I never let it go
And I guess I might've been doing the same, anyhow
Quiet was the night
Steady as she waits
Seems as though she yearns for me
Calls me by my name
Sometimes she says "Come to me"
"Kiss me while it's late"
And other nights she's just hangin'
With the stars
And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes and
What if he never comes when you call?
And ay-ee-ay, ay-ee-ay, "It's all right" she says
