lyrics

Look Up At The Moon

I walked across the river last night
Don’t ask me how
Don’t ask me how

But I still couldn’t find you
Anywhere
Anywhere at all

Now I’m traveling from Whitehorse to Yukon
On the back of a wind
That could go anywhere

Hoping to land somewhere
I can start over
Don’t ask me why

You already know
Just ask yourself
What have I done

​I’ve got a heart too heavy
​To carry all by myself
​I’ve got a heart that’s beating
​But not for long

​From here I can go anywhere
​On the back of a wind
​On the back of a wind

Now I’m standing on the moon
Watching you
Watching out for you

You walk down the stairs
A cigarette in your hand
Cigarette in your hand

You light the candles one by one
And then you dance
Oh, how you dance

All alone in the room
With just the beat of your heart
To guide you

You pull a book off of the shelf
And then you toss it aside
Like you always do

​You’ve got a heart too heavy
​To bury all by yourself
​You’ve got a heart that’s beating
​But not for anyone else

​And as I blow you a kiss
​All the candles blow out
​All the candles blow out
​All across the world

I can see the look on your face
As you run outside
And look up at the moon
