"Light of the Moon"

by Joseph McCombs

I nudge you underneath your chin
You're not speaking to me
The grudge you carry deep within
Is no secret to me

There's a lot for us to talk about
Not just say goodbye
I thought that we could work it out
But you don't want to try

          I know I've done wrong
          I know that I've lied
          But this time I need you
          To understand why
          We have got to talk this over soon
          And I'm wide awake now... by the light of the moon.

For twelve months I've been driving on
And changing every mile
My attic's full of ghosts I don't
Know how to reconcile

          I was out of my mind
          But that doesn't mean
          You were out of my sight
          Or out of my dreams
          You have taken your place in my room
          Where I'm crying now... by the light of the moon.

                  Realize that I always meant well
                  And you never can tell how it all shines through
                  These eyes have seen a lot
                  But they never forgot just how much they love you.

Baby, please remember that I was once a good man
And I can find my way back home again if given time
I could come around and shake these demons evermore
If I knew you would be waiting with an ever-open door

                  Realize that I always meant well
                  And you never can tell how it all shines through
                  These eyes have seen a lot
                  But they never forgot how much they love you.
                  I'll go if you won't let me stay
                  But I'm hoping someday you'll change your tune
                  I know if there's a god above
                  Then I'll share my love again with you... by the light of the moon.
