New Moon

Like the light of the new moon I only catch a darker view When I look for you and you go unseen Tied down in his living room You dream think of sinking in the dunes Kick off your sandy shoes and cuff your jeans Did you ever think you'd see The day when you turned 33 And wanted to be anywhere but here I don't mean to hold you still Half naked with a rolled-up bill To wake up ill alone with me right there Oh it's time to save what's left of your life You'll survive another night, then another night Oh it's time to say not a word of anything we did Our secrets won't be his, and you won't be mine You don't need to be so down You look nice in your mother's gown Well-wishers come to gather round your statue And I don't mean to eulogize Or look for doubt behind your eyes Don't even want to say goodbye but I have to Oh it's time to save what's left of your life You'll survive another night, then another night Oh it's time to say not a word of anything we did Our secrets won't be his, and you won't be mine And we'll be alright, just not tonight
