MOONLIGHT

When someone doesn’t talk too much it could be that they feel too much
It’s hard to say. A million miles away, we’ll try again someday
It’s hard to know just who you are when what you feel is mostly scar
But ask away. When things don’t go your way, there’s a price to pay
Here by the oceanside, the child inside begins to see
Here though I’m dead inside, another side of me can be

A little bit of kindness could relieve us of the blindness
So that we might see that so much of the madness is in you, not me
Cockleshells and carrousels, fare-thee-wells and fairytales
A friend indeed. Your tender touch is all I need
Here by the ocean side another side of me you’ll see
Here sitting by your side, the gentle side of me can be

How can I say what is my way when no one else has lived this way?
Where to begin? Even if I wanted I can’t let you in
I need for you to see me, but I’m so afraid to be me
So I hide away. But when I look at you it takes my breath away
Here by the ocean side no need to hide my love away
Here sitting by your side, “Nothing to hide,” I hear you say

I want too much, I feel too much, I hurt too much, I’m not worth much
But you touched me. I love you still, I always will
You’re the only one who ever touched me, yes, the only one
No one since then. Now that you’re here, I can breath again
Here, by the ocean my devotion both of us can feel
Here, by the ocean, in slow motion, my love is real

When someone doesn’t talk too much it doesn’t mean they can’t be touched
