~~

I was young
when you came to my rescue
little child
in the moon

learn to love
you said no one could love you
if your heart
only knew

moonlight

put your weight on my shoulders
in moonlight
moonlight

sail away when we're older
in moonlight
in moonlight

moonlight

[and I sit here alone and far from you and it is night and I am reflecting on everything all around me, and I am thinking of you. I saw happiness and pain in your eyes, and reflections of the paradises lost and regained, and lost again, that terrible loneliness, and happiness. and I think about you like two lonely space pilots in outer cold space as I sit here, this late night alone, and I am thinking of you.]

I was there
saw you cradled and sleeping
as you fell
from the stars

learn to care
you said people are scary
you don't know
who they are

moonlight

put your weight on my shoulders
in moonlight
moonlight

sail away when we're older
in moonlight
in moonlight

moonlight [moonlight]
put your weight on my shoulders
in moonlight, moonlight [luna! luna...]

sail away when we're older
in moonlight
in moonlight
[luna...]

light shines through
I take notice each time
it reminds me
of your heart

it stays beating
we won't die far too soon
we'll go off
to the moon

moonlight
