Well, the moon I know, in the town I live, is steady as she waits. |
|
It seems as though she yearns for me and calls me by my name. |
|
Sometimes she says come to me, kiss me while it's late. |
|
And other nights she's just hanging with the stars. |
|
And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes |
|
And what if he never comes when you call? |
|
And, "hey, it's alright," she says, |
|
"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night. |
|
Hey, in another life," she says, |
|
"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago." |
|
"Don't look back," I heard a voice, in velvet 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 who's gonna save you now? |
|
And, "hey, it's alright," she says, |
|
"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night. |
|
Hey, in another life," she says, |
|
"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago." |
|
"Hey, it's alright," she says, |
|
"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night. |
|
Hey, in another life," she says, |
|
"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago." |
|
"Hey, it's alright," she says. |
|
"Hey, in another life," she says. |
|
Way back when, when we became friends, I was you, you were my defense. |
|
And quiet was the night. |
|
You showed 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. |
