Back to the Moon

V6

[solo digital beep-beep signal melody] [Verse 1] I walked out wearing your name like rain on a borrowed coat but the field knew me first before the road, before the smoke The pines kept their old oath the river kept my face I heard my own slow heartbeat in the hollow of the place [Pre-Chorus] And every mile fell quiet every wound turned gold I was only ever searching for the self I used to hold [Chorus] Back to the moon back to my soul Back to the moon I am whole You loved me there where the dark is blue Back to the moon back to you [Verse 2] I learned the art of leaving by standing still with the trees their roots in the black earth their crowns in the freeze And I was lonely as starlight but never truly lost 'cause love was a wild thing that crossed me at all costs [Pre-Chorus] Now the dawn comes softly on my open hands I was made of hush and heavens from the start, from the sand [Chorus] Back to the moon back to my soul Back to the moon I am whole You loved me there where the dark is blue Back to the moon back to you [Bridge] If the world is a river let it carry what it must I am not the echo I am the earth, I am the dust I am the one who waited under every falling star And you are my returning even when we drift afar [Final Chorus] Back to the moon back to my soul Back to the moon I am whole You loved me there where the dark is blue Back to the moon back to you Back to the moon back to my heart Back to the moon we were never apart
