The Moon Is Down

There ain't no moon tonight

It's hard for me to see

But if I can catch a glimpse of you

It helps me feel at ease

It helps me sleep

All my life I've watched you dance along

To music that I can't hear

I ain't equipped to hear those songs

I like the way you talk about all the things you've seen

You make the world seem small for a time

Though it's still too big for me

All my life I've watched you dance along

To music that I can't hear

I ain't equipped to hear those songs

You were never at rest

You were always somewhere-bound

But as for me, I'm the simple kind

I'll live and die in this town

And I know my home ain't big enough

That it would only keep you down

And I'd hate to see you caged

So all that I ask

Is you come say hi when you're around

It ain't much

But it's good enough for me
