lyrics

TOWARD THE MOON

O lay me down to rest
Blow me wide to the western sky
Never love me best
Read the silver runes at my fingertips
It’s the shadow of myself
I’ve stretched along this glittering beach
Never say what else
All we know is what we cannot reach

And she runs through my veins
And she burns me like fire
And she tilts the world toward the moon
And she draws me higher

Surf rush through my hair
Shifting sands that slip between my limbs
Never call me fair
Just a mermaid singing silent hymns
I am grounded on this shore
I will wear like a pebble with the ebb and flow
Never know me more
Surrender me to the undertow

And she runs through my veins
And she burns me like fire
And she tilts the world toward the moon
And she draws me higher

Ah when she comes to me
When she comes her kiss it stills me
Ah when she lifts me up so high
When she pulls me to her breast it fills me

Fling your surf to me
Venus born in dancing waves
Never set me free
Orchestrate these shards of light
I will open to the sun
Arch my body to the foam
There’s a white light in my mind
All the sad songs left behind

And she runs through my veins
And she burns me like fire
And she tilts the world toward the moon
And she draws me higher
