Rises the Moon

Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end

Sun digs its heels to taunt you

But after sunlight days, one thing stays the same

Rises the moon...

Days fade into a watercolor blur

Memories swim and haunt you

But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke

Rises the moon...

Oh-oh, close your weary eyes

I promise you that soon the autumn comes

To darken fading summer skies

Breathe, breathe, breathe...

Days pull you down just like a sinking ship

Floating is getting harder

But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile

Rises the moon...

Days pull you up just like a daffodil

Uprooted from its garden

They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so

Rises the moon...

You'll be visited by sleep

I promise you that soon the autumn comes

To steal away each dream you keep

Breathe, breathe, breathe...
