I Have Been the Moon

The street, the village green, the sleeping bakery
Dreams with subway steam beneathe the balcony
Let's flood the streets with chemistry all around this town

I have been the moon tonight
Revolving around a planet
I don't even know if I can ever return to

I broke all these roses for you
And I dropped your ring down the kitchen sink
So I wrote up this note just for you
It's an apology in invisible ink
Let's flood the streets with chemistry
All around this town

I have been the moon but I'd
Trade the quiet sky for a hungry cry
That I'd have no reply to ever return to you

I leave clues where nobody sees
Secret thoughts on secret streets
Dead balloons and a pair of wings

I have been an ocean tide
A sailor's goodbye whisper in the night
Like a buoy, like a buoy floats
