The moon was high in an autumn sky
The light cast down
And you came outside
And the night filled the dark with a thousand stars
Proving nothing was better than where we are
In the pull of the moon
And the weight of the stars
You anchor me with all that you are
Like the stemming of the tide
The moon's attraction to the sea
You are
You are all these things
A tea kettle whistle deep within a home
As a radio sings a song
It's sung countless times before
And I step outside with a searching heart
To save up wishes as we look above
In the pull of the moon
And the weight of the stars
You anchor me with all that you are
Like the stemming of the tide
The moon's attraction to the sea
You are
You are all these things
So the sky dismissed the stars
And the night became unseen
The sun woke from its slumber
And the moon packed up its things, saying
The only way to love is to know it might be lost
So take hold lightly
Let go lightly
Whatever the cost
In the paleness of a porchlight
I became drowsy with all these things
As I close my eyes slowly
And I sing before we sleep
In the pull of the moon
And the weight of the stars
You anchor me with all that you are
Like the stemming of the tide
The moon's attraction to the sea
You are
You are all these things
You are
You are all these things
