When Day Breaks
Sept 8, 2007

---

My moon,
so distant, so far
I can taste your sweetness tonight
but when day breaks
you will be gone

My moon,
I can hold you in my cupped palm
but when the illusion fades
I am alone again
A cold palm of emptiness
shaking in the cold, still night

My moon,
won't you keep me company tonight?
I am drawn to your shimmering light
drawn to what shines so bright

When day breaks
I will not keep you
When day breaks
I will let you fade
When day breaks
I will let you go
When day breaks
it'll hurt to see you go

I'll watch you from afar
and though I wish to be your star
my final place is here
on this bitter earth
while yours is there
hovering in endless black

What can be
What cannot be
What is understood
What is never understood

My moon sweetheart
