lyrics

Silver sliver hanging in the sky
I wonder why I wonder why I talk to you
You keep all my secrets from the stars
We’ve got a mighty repertoire me and the moon

There’s a falling feeling I get when I stare up for too long
There’s an air of healing I feel when I watch you fall along

But I wonder when you dip behind my tree line
What you say when you’re out of view

Maybe the moon will tell me all her secrets too

Some days when it’s light you’re in the sky
I wonder why I wonder why you stay so long
I don’t always know where I should be
I look to you to tell me: where do I belong?
There’s an honest answer in the way you reappear at night
As a cosmic dancer anywhere that you appear is right

And I wonder if I close my eyes and ask you why
I don’t always dance with you

Maybe the moon will tell me all her secrets too

Maybe she’ll tell me to open my orbit
Don’t turn away when the dance is distorted
Maybe she’ll tell me I’m free to be anywhere I want to be

So I wonder from my window pane
If I can claim a moment for just us two

Maybe the moon will tell me all her secrets too
