I Am the Moon

I was born to the sun But the stars got all twisted and darling now I'm on the run I was laid in the sea With the kiss of the water a blanket to wrap around me It's salty and swaddling and I'm often wondering now If there's more than these throttling waves in the Milky Way clouds Oh, but I'm disillusioned by love or confusion Or whatever they call it, I feel like I'm losing my way But I am the moon I've become your satellite Just a beacon to guide you back home at the end of the night What I'd give to be there tonight In your presence surrounded by letters I never could write I'm sick of this coddling, sick of the wandering how In the thick of it bottled in by gravity pulling me down But it's all an illusion, this endless confusion Don't know what to call it but I know that I'm losing my way My way back to you Sick of this coddling, sick of the wandering why In the thick of it bottled up by gravity pulling me aside But it's all an illusion, this love or confusion Don't know what they call it but I know that I'm losing my way But I am the moon
