New Moon

New Moon

There's a new moon rising up in the sky

Your funny old love is passing me by

Her silver smile like a sideways spoon

A slice of the unknown as fine as a wishbone

You filled up our nights right to the brim

With the terrible beauty of breakable things

With teacups and featherbones and blossom in the spring

The soft dark dust on a moth's wing

On a moth's wings

You're too mad to be mine

Too sad to be mine

Too bad you're not mine

Just send me a sign send me a sign

There's a mew moon dancing high up above

The roof tops and chimneys your imperfect love

Was never enough Was never enough

Was never enough ohhhhh

Your'e too mad to be mine

Too sad to be mine

Too bad you're not mine

Just send me a sign send me a sign

Just send me a sign

Wake up on a new day, look out on the town

Just like the new moon you can't pull me down

You can't pull me down mmmmmm
