The Moon Will Sing

The Crane Wives

Tell me once again
I could have been anyone, anyone else
Before you made the choice for meMy feet knew the path
We walked in the dark, in the dark
I never gave a single thought to where it might lead

All those empty rooms
We could have been anywhere - anywhere else
Instead I made a bed with apathy
My heart knew the weight
Ten years worth of dust and neglect
We made our peace with weariness
And let it be

The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me

Name your courage now
We could have had anything - anything else
Instead you hoarded all that′s left of me
Swallowing your doubt
Like swords to the pit of my belly
I want to feel the fire that you kept from me

The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me

I shine only with the light you gave me
(I could have been anyone, anyone)
I shine only with the light you gave me
(I could have been anyone, anyone)
