If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
|
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
|
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore
|
Biggest melody you never heard before
|
What if I were the night sky
|
Here's my lullaby to leave by
|
|
What if we hadn't been born at the same time
|
What if you were 75 and I were 9
|
Would I come visit you
|
Bring you cookies in an old folks home
|
Would you be there alone
|
And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms will I remember to breathe no I never will
|
And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm
|
Just want to show you how not to need
|
What if I were the night sky
|
Here's my lullaby to leave by
|
|
What if we hadn't been each other at the same time
|
Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime
|
Would I rock you to sleep
|
Would you tell all the secrets you don't need to keep
|
Would I still miss you
|
Or would you then have been mine
|
If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
|
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
|
