The Thief and the Moon - Shawn James

I could hold out my arms, say "I love you this much" I could tell you how long I will long for your touch How much and how far would I go to prove The depth and the breadth of my love for you? From here to the moon and back Who else in this world will love you like that? Love everlasting, I promise you that From here to the moon and back From here to the moon and back I want you to know you can always depend On promises made and love without end No need to wonder how faithful I'll be Now and on into eternity From here to the moon and back Who else in this world will love you like that? Forever and always, I'll be where you're at From here to the moon and back From here to the moon and back I'd blow you a kiss as I wish on a star Counting my blessings for all that you are Thank heaven for you and to God, tip my hat From here to the moon and back And I'll spend forever just proving that fact From here to the moon and back (Who will love you like that?) From here to the moon and back

I am sitting on the moon Watching planet blue, hello Looking all around Rotating without sound Where are you? Where are you? I am sitting on the moon Where are you? I am missing... I'm missing you I came from very far A little unknown star, hello I don't know what to do It feels so cold and blue, without you Where are you Where, where are you? I am sitting on the moon Where are you I am missing I'm missing you Where are you? I am sitting on the moon Where, where are you? I am missing I am missing you Where are you? I am sitting on the moon Where are you? I am missing I am missing you.

Holes in your pockets watch you lose Anything you thought was meant for you Daddy asks you if you'll stay Doesn't know he's the one who made you feel this way I think fights are better off outside Ten toes in tall grass must feel nice Go take a slice, there's plenty left Gonna need your legs for running west Lately, I don't feel inspired, wish I was a better liar Maybe that's why I blame the moon It's too late to be this early, heaven knows you tried to hurt me Maybe that's why you'll blame the moon That's cute, your best friend looks like you Without the self indulgent attitude There's a code, a vault filled with the years I'll waste Take a bitter pill without the face Lately, I don't feel inspired, wish I was a better liar Maybe that's why I blame the moon It's too late to be this early, heaven knows you tried to hurt me Maybe that's why you'll blame the moon Blame the moon (maybe)

A shot to the veins Taste the rush I was lost on an escape to love Untraceable It's not the same Not enough You and me was like a vivid dream Why'd you wake me up? Why'd you wake me up? You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount Paramount Distant screams The biggest lie What are we if never intertwined Forever undefined Take my hand Now or not at all Sow a seed, grow a plant Watch it spire tall Ever higher My love You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount Paramount Paramount Paramount Nights are longer now And I am, I am stronger Without you Without you I have come around Life is ocean, we were just travellers in the bayou In the bayou That we outgrew In the bayou In the bayou

I'm falling out With everything around me now Losing what I used to be And I'm over it They have been to the moon I'm just a caterpillar dead in my cocoon Swept by my mind's typhoon And I'm all at sea I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh we shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear I had it all Rivers of gold and forest so tall But I ran my canoe down a waterfall Started a wildfire I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh we shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh I shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear Here I sit in silence as it's rising at me And I'm afraid that I'm not taking my chances How do I know it's light in the horizon that I see? I've seen questions, but never answers Darkness to me is only water to the sea I've only ever heard of drought I used to be the one with the grandest of dreams But how can hope keep believing through the war?

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
