[Intro: soft waves, guitar and humming] [MARÉ] Everybody went home. [Other voice] Not everybody. [Verse 1] Empty cups sitting by the folded chairs Last song finished, but you’re still there Silver on the ocean, blue across the sand You drew a little circle with your toe beside my hand I asked if you were tired, you said, “Not quite yet” Looked out at the water like the night had something left No crowd, no speaker, no reason to move But your shoulder found mine beneath the moon [Pre-Chorus] Water moving slowly Night is standing still Nothing here is asking us To say how we feel [Chorus] Moon over the water Your hand getting closer Nothing getting louder But I hear you better Moon over the water Stay a little longer We don’t need a party When the night feels like this Light upon the tide You right by my side Moon over the water Don’t let morning find us yet [Post-Chorus] Ooh, stay close Ooh, move slow Moon over the water Nobody has to know [Verse 2] You found one last bottle buried in the ice Poured it into two cups, said, “This should be enough” Made a little toast to nowhere we should be Then stole the better chair and left the sand for me I said, “That’s cold,” you said, “Then sit right here” Moved half an inch and made the invitation clear Now the waves keep time beneath our quiet talk Every time I mention leaving, you change where the story starts [Pre-Chorus] Water moving slowly Night is standing still Nothing here is asking us To say how we feel [Chorus] Moon over the water Your hand getting closer Nothing getting louder But I hear you better Moon over the water Stay a little longer We don’t need a party When the night feels like this Light upon the tide You right by my side Moon over the water Don’t let morning find us yet [Instrumental Break: nylon guitar and hand percussion] [Other voice] You’re staring again. [MARÉ] At the moon. [Other voice] The moon is behind you. [MARÉ] Then I’m facing the right direction. [Beat returns] [Rhythmic Verse] One small wave One soft breeze Your fingers moving Closer to me No big speech No perfect line Just your hand Falling into mine Moon goes west Tide comes high You look over I forget why I was ever planning To say goodnight [Bridge: airy falsetto] When the sky turns gold We can call it morning Till the first bird sings There’s no need for warning Let the water keep Every little word Some things sound better When they’re barely heard [Final Chorus] Moon over the water Your head on my shoulder Nothing getting louder But I know you better Moon over the water Stay a little longer We don’t need a party When the night feels like this Light upon the tide You right by my side Moon over the water Let the morning wait outside [Final Post-Chorus] Ooh, stay close Ooh, move slow Moon over the water Nobody has to know [Outro: waves and quiet guitar] [Other voice] The sun’s coming up. [MARÉ] I don’t see it. [Other voice] You’re facing the wrong way. [MARÉ] On purpose.
