Welcome to the Birdhouse

Return

The Moon Will Sing by the Crane Wives

Tell me once again

I could have been anyone, anyone else

Before you made the choice for me

My feet knew the path

We walked in the dark, in the dark

I never gave a single thought to where it might lead


All those empty rooms

We could have been anywhere, anywhere else

Instead I made a bed with apathy

My heart knew the height

Ten years worth of dust and neglect

We made our peace with weariness and let it be


The moon will sing a song for me

I loved you like the sun

Bore the shadows that you made

With no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me

I shine only with the light you gave me


Name your courage now

We could have had anything, anything else

Instead you hoarded all that's left of me

Swallowing your doubt

Like swords through the pit of my belly

I want to feel the fire that you kept from me


The moon will sing a song for me

I loved you like the sun

Bore the shadows that you made

With no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me

I shine only with the light you gave me

I shine only with the light you gave me

( I could have been anyone, anyone )

I shine only with the light you gave me

( I could have been anyone, anyone )
