Phase of the Moon

In the coldest dark of night, I can feel a heat like firelight The breath of the summer sky, warm on my face My loyal companion, you're always there Changing by the moment, I can hardly bare Waiting for your face to come and see me soon I know that it's you behind the haze, wish that I could see you but I'll have to wait You know it's always slipping by so soon... just another phase of the moon We try to look dignified, just a little dot in an endless sky Sometimes ya know forever is a short little time We look for meaning we'll never find That's what makes life feel unkind Nothing lasts forever, not even you You look so different but you never change, you flow with the tide, you wax and wane You know it's always slipping by so soon... just another phase of the moon When we said forever did we know, that what we had would come, and it would go I look up in your face and I see new lines, counting down the time, oh the time Sand through the hourglass, why does everything have to move so fast The tighter you hold on the more it slips away Another night slips into another the day Close my eyes and you take me away Tomorrow will come and you'll be out of view I know that it's you behind the haze, wish that I could see you but I'll have to wait You know it's slipping by so soon
