Jonathan Coulton - Always the Moon lyrics

Before there ever was a you and me The endless void of a dark black sea And a giant oyster, the mother of all things And the oyster made a pearl And the pearl became the world And the world began to turn And the sun began to burn Then one day I met you and I fell in love And you broke my tender heart and so here we are But there was always the moon There was always the moon There was always the moon There was always the moon Before there ever was a you and me The slender branch of a gentle tree And a big red fruit that hung low to the ground And you picked it out of spite And you took a careless bite And the world was not the same And we all know who to blame So now when you think of me do you think of when There was still a chance but it's over so here we are But there was always the moon There was always the moon There was always the moon There was always the moon Remember when there was a you and me? When there was such a thing as gravity? And the tides came in and the tides went out again But the water got too high And the sun began to die And I tried to make you stay But the world pulled you away And now there are darker longer colder nights And the sun has gone for good and so here we are But there is always the moon There is always the moon There is always the moon There is always the moon
