If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean

Moon plays the ocean like a violin

Pushing and pulling from shore to shore

Biggest melody you never heard before

What if I were the night sky

What if I were the night sky

Here's my lullaby

my lullaby to leave by

lullaby to leave by

If I were the night

What if we hadn't been born at the same time

What if you were 75 and I were 9

Would I come visit you

Bring you cookies in an old folks home

Would you be there alone

And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms will I remember to breathe no I never will

And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm

Just want to show you how not to need

What if I were the night sky

Here's my lullaby

my lullaby to leave by

lullaby to leave by

If I were the night

What if we hadn't been each other at the same time

Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime

Would I rock you to sleep

Would you tell all the secrets you don't need to keep

Would I still miss you

Or would you then have been mine

If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean

Moon plays the ocean like a violin
