You showed me the plough as it furrowed its way through the night You said it was mine and i waited for hours, just watching it slide Till the dawn filled the sky And the fire of the morning peeled the stars away Leaving the moon in a blanket of grey You gave me the moon in the palm of my hand Glinting like copper and beaten like gold September moon with the rain in its hair Tangling the stars... And i'd give you the air if the air was mine to give you I'd give you the clouds if the clouds weren't filled with rain I'd give you my heart if you promise to be gentle Won't you put back the stars so we can see again I watched you sleeping, ever so gently Sleeping so gently and breathing so still Till the dawn in the sky threw its light down over your shoulders And the moon and the sun chased the darkness away And now i know the ocean wave I know the turning of the sea I know that love is sweeter still Than summer breezes turning leaves I know your face i know your hair The colour of your stare The silence in your eyes
