Turn your face to the moon
Let me see you that way
And the way you appear to me now you’d think the moon would hide for shame

And though there is fire inside, there’s a peace I have never known
As if all of the earth holds her breath underneath the weight of snow
I’m watching you watch the water, wondering why with every deep happiness there’s some kind of pain
And these last days I’ve let so much of me away;
But you will always be a mystery to me

I know that nothing touches you;
Nothing has or ever will
Like that moon you’re high and far away

Hold my heart - this alone is heaven
But it’s more than I can hide
And the way I feel for you now is something I don’t understand;

Because sometimes, you know, even I feel so old
But you make me feel like I’m just being born
You make me smile;
You make me know myself;
You make me feel like I’m someone else
And I’ll hold you here in the back of my mind and I’ll let you go now;
I’m letting you go
And the night rolls over us with no hesitation
There’s so much life in me now
Keep me here
Hold back time - keep me here;
Keep me here
If we were alone on this earth
Or even away from here
It would be easy to let myself go;
And God knows I want to
