Lyrics The Walkmen

The Walkmen

Red Moon

The red moon is rising behind you

The ocean is pounding away

I held up a light to the smoke but

The redness blows it away

And the night is cold

And the clouds go by

Tomorrow morning

I hope to be home

By your side

The riptide is pulling me under

I’m drifting, drifting away

Tomorrow the sun will be brighter

The water will rise and wash us away

But the stars are cold

And the air is bright

And I see you now

You shine like the steel on my knife

The darkness is wrapped all around me tonight

I miss you

I miss you there’s no one else

I do

I do
