Moonlit Run

[Verse 1] I leave the last train far behind Cold gravel turning underfoot The moon cuts silver through the pines And every breath tastes sharp and good [Pre-Chorus] My pulse keeps time with rushing blood No road can tell me where to stop I carry sparks beneath my tongue A storm is climbing to the top [Chorus] Running through the moonlit night Singing what is in my head Every note is burning bright Every fear is left for dead I don’t need a name for this I don’t need a map or sign With the dark beneath my feet And the whole wild sky in mine [Verse 2] A paper bracelet from the show Still tied around my wrist tonight The valley opens down below The clouds turn white beneath the light [Pre-Chorus] My lungs are fire, legs are steel The trees bend back and let me pass For once I know the thing I feel Is something no one else can ask [Chorus] Running through the moonlit night Singing what is in my head Every note is burning bright Every fear is left for dead I don’t need a name for this I don’t need a map or sign With the dark beneath my feet And the whole wild sky in mine [Bridge] If morning finds me changed Let it find me standing tall I was quiet long enough Now I’m louder than it all [Breakdown] Run—until the silence cracks Sing—until the world looks back Run—there’s no turning me around Sing—feel the ground [Final Chorus] Running through the moonlit night Singing what is in my head Every note is burning bright Every fear is left for dead I don’t need a name for this I don’t need a map or sign With the dark beneath my feet And the whole wild sky in mine [Outro] The moon keeps pace above the trees My voice goes farther than the breeze
