Babe, will you save me a dance by the river
|
Moonlight is serving us well
|
She makes the whole world silhouette
|
Makes it flicker like film on a strip
|
Don’t let the sadness in yet to react as if
|
Somehow it’s all come and gone
|
Let’s pretend we’re all healed up and happy and moved on
|
|
Tonight let the moon come shine
|
Let us remain you and I
|
Tell the sun not to rise
|
For the darkest time
|
Moonlight keep us steady
|
Give me one more night then I’m ready
|
To let go, to know we are only shadows.
|
|
Babe, I’m so sorry to ask
|
I’m ashamed but tonight I just can’t give you up
|
I shackled myself to the past and my will has gone missing
|
Let’s call our shadow selves out for the evening
|
And watch them remember our love
|
Tomorrow will come and I know they’ll be leaving
|
That our time is up
|
|
Tonight let the moon come shine
|
Let us remain you and I
|
Tell the sun not to rise for the darkness lies
|
Moonlight keep us steady
|
Give me one more night then I’m ready
|
To let go, to know we will are only shadows, only shadows, only shadows
|
