about

A woman who spent a year grieving a lost love in Paris told me this song helped get her though it.

lyrics

There's no wind a-blowing on the moon
There's no garden growing on the moon
You won't hear what I say
From so far away
What a distance there can be
Between two rooms.

I know you keep your heart safe and out of sight,
But aren't you lonely way out on that satellite?
My instruments of war
They're too heavy anymore.
My heart would break with the weight of one more fight.

So I'm out on the moon
Feels like I'm on the moon
On the moon
Might as well be on the moon.

They say the moon was torn from the earth
Long time before we came
The hole it left became a deep, blue sea.
Now the moon's dry as a bone,
White and hard as stone.
Even with you next to me
I feel all alone.
