Just Like The Moon

Brett Dennen

I believe that you were born

during an eclipse

and the stars named you moon child

then you come, you rise in to my sky

you stepped in front of my sun and it makes my whole world dark

and you light up the night

just like the moon

just like the moon you light up the night

and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

laid back and I'm restless in the daytime

and I'm chased by these shadows oh thats haunting me

and then you come with nighttimes woolly blanket

and you wrap me like a child who's been in the rain too long

and you light up the night

just like the moon

just like the moon you light up the night

and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

oh I've chased the moon, ya know I've tried

and each time I've tried, each time I've failed

and each time I get so down on myself

and I can't stand this pace of a snail

while the rest of the world pales all the night

ya know I

know that I can probably never be the same

'cause you light up the night

just like the moon

just like the moon you light up the night

and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

and in the night

I can feel your lovelight shining bright

falling down on me like autumn leaves

tell me how am i supposed to fall asleep

and in the night

I can feel your lovelight shining bright

falling down on me like autumn leaves

tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep
