The air is thin eight thousand feet high

Can't sleep in this cabin covered in pines

I go to the window to read the mountain's mind

Call out my question beyond the treeline

Never been so endlessly awake

By the window feel my whole body shake

‘Honey, may I have a word alone with the night?

You asked me a question I'll answer my whole life’

Send me a moon so bright it lights the room uncomfortably

It shines on you all night

It shines on me until I know

Send me a second sight

I’d like to have a word alone with the night

I need some good advice

Something new, something in the way

The sky was kneeling on my back to pray

‘Let's sleep on it, and in the morning I'll tell you outright

You asked me a question I'll answer my whole life’

Send me a moon so bright it lights the room uncomfortably

It shines on you all night

It shines on me until I know

Send me a second sight

I’d like to have a word alone with the night

Which way will we go

I need some good advice
