"She Moves On" lyrics

"She Moves On"

I feel good, it's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts, the plane lifts
She moves on

Feel the bite whenever you believe
That you'll be lost and love will find you
When the road bends and the song ends
She moves on

I know the reason I feel so blessed
My heart still splashes inside my chest
But she, she is like a top, she cannot stop
She moves on

A sympathetic stranger
Lights a candle in the middle of the night
Her voice cracks, she jumps back
But she moves on

She says "Ooh, my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power as you shortly will discover"
Then I fall to my knees, shake a rattle at the skies
I'm afraid that I'll be taken
Abandoned, forsaken in her cold coffee eyes

She can't sleep now, the moon is red
She fights a fever, she burns in bed
She needs to talk so we take a walk
Down in the moon light

She says maybe these emotions are as near to love as love will ever be
So I agree
Then the moon breaks, she takes the corner, that's all she takes
She moves on

She says "Ooh, my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power, as you shortly will discover"
Then I fall to my knees, I grow weak, I go slack
As if she captured the breath of my voice in a bottle
And I can't catch it back

But I feel good, it's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts, the plane lifts
She moves on
