Gentle Moon Songtext

von Mark Kozelek

Smile down on us, sun
Show your rays when things come undone
All animals lead us to light
When we can't see

Stars, Saturn and moon
Glow for those who cannot get through
Rain fall and voice sound
For those of whom still are not found

Gentle moon
Find us soon
Gentle moon
Find us soon

Black sky and black sea
Lighten up when we can't breathe
All dreams escape fire
Over worlds, fly but won't tire

Slow down on us, wind
Hold us still when everything spins
All secrets and lies
Let them out

Dreams escape fire
They won't tire
Dreams escape fire
They won't tire

Gentle moon
Find us soon
Gentle moon
Find us soon

All calendars pass
Days die off and hope cannot last
But if love is like stone
Yours was mine through to my bones

Oh, but how can we give
Back to those with whom we can't live?
When will the flame break
And spare the good people it takes?

Souls escape fire
They rise higher
Souls escape fire
They rise higher

Gentle moon
Find us soon
Gentle moon
Find us soon
