I lit a match in the silence Watched it burn through the ache You said love was a science But I knew it would break Don’t wake the moon, let her sleep She’s seen too much, she’s buried deep I’ll sing you soft through the static and gloom But don’t, don’t wake the moon I kept your name in a whisper Folded tight in my sleeve You called it truth, I called it winter And neither one would leave Don’t wake the moon, let her sleep She’s tired of dreams we couldn’t keep I’ll hum you low through the velvet and fumes But don’t, don’t wake the moon There’s a light on the edge of the skyline But it’s not for us, not tonight Let the stars do the talking Let the silence feel right Don’t wake the moon, let her sleep She’s held our secrets, she’s dug too deep I’ll fade with you through the static and bloom But don’t, don’t wake the moon
