lyrics

Mooneyes, worthy of the fullest love that one can find
A sense of calm we'd best to bottle
In blocked ice
Quick trace the sun cascading through cups of red wine
I wanna remember where I realized
You got your mama's smile
It can break my heart or take me high above the red pine
Where the view is too damned beautiful

Moments like the mile markers blurring behind
Driving at a rate to make your phases all fly
Curse a photographic memory for its slow bleeding light
Leaving fuzzy edges on once permanent lines

Tongue-tied, I flip through pages for ways to phrase this just right
Not clever enough to write it down like my idols might
Ideas escape like embers on forever to midnight
Endlessly float on and on and on
Mooneyes
I tried to paint a picture or phrase some scripture but I can't quite
To me you're too damned beautiful

And I can only hope that in a matter of time
You will find a song that pulls you in like the tide
Make you safe in your skin in the more difficult times
And until then please keep my words in your mind
Breathe in, breathe out, trust in me
Never doubt my love for you
Like the pull, the pull of the moon

You're my mooneyes
Never let them dim your moonlight
My love flies
To the moon and back and until the last light
Mooneyes
Never let them dim your moonlight
My mooneyes
Mooneyes
