Lyrics

I wanted the moon for you
But all I got was the light on the pool
And the winter black and new
The metal it made underneath my tongue
The ends of your fingers blue
The heat that was ebbing away
On the edge ashamed of myself
I never could stand the cold like you did
Two of us and we only share the light
And I thought I’d known you all my life
Now you’re just a stranger in the water
Water
Then your body was out of my hands
I watched as you pulled it away
You know I’m greedy, I take what I want
When I want it, I know you have self-restraint
Two of us and we only share the light
And I thought I’d known you all my life
Now you’re just a stranger in the water
Water
Reflections on the floor and in the bed
Show me the woman I expect
Two of us and we only share the light
And I thought I’d known you all my life
Now you’re just a stranger in the water
Water
I wanted the moon
