Lyrics
what do you think of me now, sweet moon
as i sit so empty upon the shore
while the water applauds your grandeur
sweet moon
what do you think of me now, sweet moon
and my emotions that yield a few drops of salt water
to this ocean that rises for you
sweet moon
i know it's foolish to feel all alone
crazy to want some body beside my own
some people could blame this on you
i know a place i can go
where time stands still, or at least moves real slow
what do you think i'll become, sweet moon
in my silent shell beneath the raging water
ever rounder and true
like you sweet moon
i know it's foolish to feel all alone
crazy to want some body beside my own
some people could blame this on you
but i know, sweet moon, i know
