I have been the moon

The street, the village green, the sleeping bakery

dreams with subway steam beneathe the balcony.

Let's flood the streets with chemistry all around this

town.

I have been the moon tonight

revolving around a planet

I don't even know if I can ever return to.

I broke all these roses for you

and I dropped your ring down the kitchen sink

so I wrote up this note just for you,

it's an apology in invisible ink.

Let's flood the streets with chemistry

all around this town.

I have been the moon but I'd

trade the quiet sky for a hungry cry

that I'd have no reply to ever return to you.

I leave clues where nobody sees,

secret thoughts on secret streets.

Dead balloons and a pair of wings.

I have been an ocean tide

a sailor's goodbye whisper in the night

like a buoy, like a buoy floats.
