Brett Dennen: Just Like The Moon

I believe that you were born
during an eclipse
and the stars named you moon child
then you come, you rise in to my sky
you stepped in front of my sky and it makes my whole world dark
and you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight
laid back and I'm restless in the daytime
and I'm chased by these shadows oh thats haunting me
and then you come with nighttimes woolly blanket
and you wrap me like a child who's been in the rain too long
and you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight
oh I've chased the moon, ya know I've tried
and each time I've tried, each time I've failed
and each time I get so down on myself
and I can't stand this pace of a snail
while the rest of the world pales all the night
ya know I
know that I can probably never be the same
'cause you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight
and in the night
I can feel your lovelight shining bright
falling down on me like autumn leaves
tell me how am i supposed to fall asleep
and in the night
I can feel your lovelight shining bright
falling down on me like autumn leaves
tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep
bringing light into the day
and I'm coasting on your rays
when I awoke, you spoke through the mist of the mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
and we'll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will
desert sunset, a lullaby
if I could give it all to you
if you'd only let me try
sing so sweetly, it's my only wish
music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summer's kiss
summer raindrops are precious, tongues twist
and Ive been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I dont want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
I know darling
I could be so good to you
I see you rising, on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and Im coasting on your rays
when I awoke and you spoke through the mist of a mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
well cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will
desert moonrise, into the night
before we lay our heads
I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight
sing so sweetly, its the sweetest sound
and Ive become weak in the knees
and I drop down and kiss the ground
and all my cares lie far below
in this earth I wish to die
in this hearth my fire grows
