I used to sit on the roof

Under a lonesome moon

Just waiting for something

to fall

Something borrowed or blue

A star, perhaps two

and if so I would give them to you

 

Not that you need to be brighter

You shine like a lantern

on a dark and endless sea

No, I just want to give you

something rare and priceless

cause you are priceless to me

 

It goes on and on

Time is a tiger that roams

and tomorrow is always too soon

It was too good to be true

but I am stuck loving you

under that lonesome moon

 

It seems pretty wide

this dark lit sky

when we meet in our joint solitude

I don't know what it hides

but I like the silver light

It keeps me

dreaming of you

 

I carved out your name

In the bark of a tree

so the roots

would grow deeper for me

Not to keep you forever

But to know you were here

A promise of what could have been

​

It goes on and on

Time is a tiger that roams

and tomorrow is always too soon

I don't know what to do

I am still loving you

under that lonesome moon
