The Crane Wives - The Moon Will Sing Lyrics

The Crane Wives Lyrics

"The Moon Will Sing"

Tell me once again
I could have been anyone, anyone else
Before you made the choice for me
My feet knew the path
We walked in the dark, in the dark
I never gave a single thought
To where it might lead

All those empty rooms
We could have been anywhere, anywhere else
Instead I made a bed with apathy
My heart knew the weight
Ten years worth of dust and neglect
We made our peace with weariness
And let it be

The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me

Name your courage now
We could have had anything, anything else
Instead you hoarded all that's left of me
Swallowing your doubt
Like swords to the pit of my belly
I want to feel the fire that you kept from me

The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
I could have been anyone, anyone
I shine only with the light you gave me
I could have been anyone, anyone
