Lyrics
Midnight Moon
You were my song
You were my wings
You were the sun on my back
First thing in the morning
The way you sung me to sleep
So late in the evening
Never thought I’d wake up
To find you gone
We were two birds on a tightrope
Stretched across a lilac sky
A silhouette cut out
In perfect light
But you drained all of the color
When you went away
Now I’m just a crow on a wire
Black on gray
What’s it like up there
Behind the midnight moon
Are you keeping warm
Is anybody there with you
Can you see me down here
In this mess of blue
Searching for your face
Among the stars
We were two birds on a tightrope
Stretched across a lilac sky
A silhouette cut out
In perfect light
But you drained all of the color
When you went away
Now I’m just a crow on a wire
Black on gray
