Autumn Moonlight
Verse 1
The larger the town, the more lonely the place
The criss-cross of roads match the lines on my face
The people move slowly like tears down a cheek
Searching in vain for the love that they seek
I was like them, I think you were too
Wrapped in yourself as the cold winds blew
Keeping your head down, life passing by
Opposite loneliness is where our love lies
Chorus
We look younger by moonlight than we do in the sun
My face tells a story, how my life has run
I have been waiting, confined by my fears
While you have been watering roses with tears
A tree stands alone on a dark winter’s night
Waiting for spring to arrive with the light
My life was in autumn and fading away
Then you gave me summer, please say you’ll stay
Verse 2
It’s often written that loves for the young
The pens running dry the conclusions begun
My heart, like the ink well, was empty inside
Now it is full because you’re by my side
That night you looked lonely and I felt the same
You gathered the courage to ask me my name
We danced to the music of love in our heads
A tide rose within me and that’s when I said
Chorus repeat
Verse 3
Success and mistakes can both alter your heart
Mistakes cut the deepest and never depart
But deeper than that is the love in your sole
And I need your love more than air to be whole
I may be approaching the hill at the end
But how can you get over what you can’t ascend?
On borrowed time this song it is sung
I wish I had met you when I was still young
Chorus repeat
