[Verse 1] [M] We count the cracks in the sill [F] Like little maps of time [M] The tea goes cold between us [F] Still sweet with a trace of lime [M] Your coat hangs by the doorway [F] Mine on the old back chair [M] We laugh at what is leaving [F] Then stand and quietly stare [Pre-Chorus] [M] And the moon keeps climbing [F] Over the split-rail fence [M] One more night of us [F] Before the leaving makes sense [Chorus] [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We were golden and bruised [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We held on, we moved [M] Bittersweet in our hands [F] Sweet enough to stay [M] Pain and joy side by side [F] Till they blurred away [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We were almost okay [Verse 2] [F] You fold the worn-out blanket [M] I pack the jar of jam [F] The porch light blinks like a warning [M] But we both know what we am [F] Your song leans in the rafters [M] Mine through the screen door seam [F] Two voices in the hush now [M] One place, one shared dream [Pre-Chorus] [M] And the moon keeps climbing [F] Over the split-rail fence [M] One more night of us [F] Before the leaving makes sense [Chorus] [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We were golden and bruised [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We held on, we moved [M] Bittersweet in our hands [F] Sweet enough to stay [M] Pain and joy side by side [F] Till they blurred away [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We were almost okay [Bridge] [F] If dawn comes with your name in it [M] Let it take its time [F] I can love the last small hour [M] Just as well as I loved mine [F] When the wagon rolls tomorrow [M] And the fields go pale [F] We’ll leave a little warmth here [M] Like a thumbprint on the rail [Final Chorus] [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We were golden and bruised [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We held on, we moved [M] Bittersweet in our hands [F] Sweet enough to stay [M] Pain and joy side by side [F] Till they blurred away [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We were almost okay [M] Under the waxing moon [F] We’ll sing it out today
