[Chorus 1]
In between moons
I was the sea, I was the sea
In between stars
I was the salt, I was the salt
Wild and vulgar were the ones that you could see
The ugly idols not cherished by me
[Chorus 2]
In between moons
I was the spring, I was the spring
In between stars
I was the iron, I was the iron
Washed and scrubbed from morning till night
The sky is heavy on my shoulders but alright
[Bridge 1]
It happened so very long ago
We don't know when or how
Nobody knows what we're doing here even now
[Chorus 3]
In between moons
I was the sea, I was the sea
In between stars
I was the salt, I was the salt
You put your hope at the bottom of the jar
Sent out a swarm of bees to sting from afar
[Bridge 2]
Or turn the axe around in my hands
Throw me in the fire
Warm yourself, kid yourself a little while
[Chorus 4]
In between moons
I was the spring, I was the spring
In between stars
I was the iron, I was the iron
At first you couldn't
No, you didn't love enough
And afterwards, you loved far too much
[Outro]
I don't know how I've come to see the world
Exclusively through your eyes
Everything I buy and eat and do with you in mind
