Oh, this old thing? Not on this record. Definitely not.
The Sun The Moon The Stars
Piano intro verses:
When we pushed ourselves over
When we swam further down under
And ran on through that oh so slippery way
It was the sun, the moon, the stars that melted away
The fire in the night that pulled our dreams away
Into the orange and the gold
Against an open sea, an open sea
Into your arms, not needing to breathe
And waves now come crashing in
Bringing me back under your skin
It was through liquid shards
And the sun the moon, the Stars...
Chorus:
And she finds her way just as you look away
You walk on by in the shadow she kept for you
Behind the candle she lit for you
In the ocean she pulled for you
And she slips away...
It was the sun, the moon, the stars...
Her eyes, the skylight in my afternoon
Her hands, the hourglass of this moment
She shall not pass, shall not pass
It was the sun, the moon, the stars
Never to fall through
No, she shall not pass
Verse:
And so she goes as the eyes of the world are closed
As the kings in high places lose control
The Earth becoming the friend betrayed
A pearl in a sea, never to fade, never to fade
Below these skies, a world still breathing
A firefly at dusk keeps singing...oh,
hmmmyeah...[scat singing in falsetto]
Chorus:
And she finds her way just as you look away
You walk on by in the shadow
(she kept for you)
In the candle
(she lit it for you)
In the ocean
(she pulled it for you)
And she slips away
It was the sun, the moon the stars...[scat singing]
The skylight in my afternoon
Her hands, the hourglass of this moment
She shall not pass, shall not pass
For it was the sun, the moon, the stars...
Reprise:
Never to fall through
Never to die out
Never to fall out
Never to drop out
Never to cry out
Never to burn out
Never to fade out
Never to pass on through
No, for this shall not pass...
Outro Verses:
And sometimes I fall away against the night
Under the crack that lets through the light
Pushed inside, it's only of you
Yeah, it's candlelight
Through the window, explosions seep in
And the lights in the sky turn dim
Beyond silence I hear your cry
Yeah, beyond it all, the buzz and firefly
And so I fall away into arms
Beyond the sun, the moon and the stars...
Do you know what the album cover will look like?
