Once i held a moon a lover's gift
If memory serves me right
Once i owned a sky where moons could drift
And bathe my world in light
I held on to that moon as long as
He was there just holding me
But it means nothing to moons, you see!
Once i held a moon a lover's ploy
It was not is to give
This is Life he said enjoy
But it wasn't mine to live
I let the moon slip through my fingers
And my love let go of me
But it means nothing to moons, you see!
They sail through the night and you follow
You hitch up your heart to that moon like a cart
It's all you know how
You're faced with your pride but can't swallow
You lift up your spoon
And you howl at the moon
that it shouldn't have shone
And that you are not sad he has gone
Once i held a moon, and by its light i loved and
he loved me
But it means nothing to moons, you see!
