The Moon Will Sing Lyrics - The Crane Wives

Tell me once again: 

I could have been anyone, anyone else 

Before you made the choice for me. 

My 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 

Of 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 

You 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.
