Always The Moon

Before there ever was a you and me

The endless void of a dark black sea

And a giant oyster, the mother of all things

And the oyster made a pearl

And the pearl became the world

And the world began to turn

And the sun began to burn

Then one day I met you and I fell in love

And you broke my tender heart and so here we are

But there was always the moon

There was always the moon

There was always the moon

There was always the moon

Before there ever was a you and me

The slender branch of a gentle tree

And a big red fruit that hung low to the ground

And you picked it out of spite

And you took a careless bite

And the world was not the same

And we all know who to blame

So now when you think of me do you think of when

There was still a chance but it's over so here we are

But there was always the moon

There was always the moon

There was always the moon

There was always the moon

Remember when there was a you and me?

When there was such a thing as gravity?

And the tides came in and the tides went out again

But the water got too high

And the sun began to die

And I tried to make you stay

But the world pulled you away

And now there are darker longer colder nights

And the sun has gone for good and so here we are

But there is always the moon

There is always the moon

There is always the moon

There is always the moon
