Cold Blue Moonlight
Tonight the entire moon’s right down on top of you
Inciting them deep blue dreams
Phantom beams fathoming severed rememberings
Whatever, it’s just a dead rock in the sky but it’s
Shining light on all that love you buried alive

In the cold blue moonlight
Bedazzling, bedeviling, bizarre
Jolting you right to the shrapnel
Of an old broken heart
Gonna be a battle getting better
It’s gonna get bad alright
Better let me hold you through the
Cold blue moonlight

Miss Simone moaning some good old oblivion
And sweet relinquishing
But that phonograph spent its momentum an hour ago
And you can’t seem to move from this room where you froze
Like an animal helpless in the oncoming beams

Of the cold blue moonlight
Bedazzling, bedeviling, bizarre
Jolting you right to the shrapnel
Of an old broken heart
Gonna be a battle getting better
It’s gonna get bad alright
Better let me hold you through the
Cold blue moonlight
The sun rises starry-eyed, rising entirely
Like it was nothing at all
I wake up, it’s midnight and Nina’s still moaning low
You’re still dead and I’m still along with a long ways to
Go ’til I can stand to face this painfully clear

Cold blue moonlight
Bedazzling, bedeviling, bizarre
Jolting me right to the shrapnel
Of my whole broken heart
Gonna be a battle getting better
It’s gonna get bad alright
Guess I gotta go through
The cold blue moonlight
