Beyond the Moon

Sitting here thinking
One thousand miles
The distance between
My thoughts in piles
Wonder what you do
One thousand miles
Distance through the sky
Seems there’s less miles
To the moon
Come home soon...

I’ll sit and talk to it
The bright moon over my head
Talk to it like it’s you
And wonder what’s in your head
It won’t react like you
Makes no faces, no coughing
No changing the subject
It must listen, staring
Where you would cut me off

So many things I want
To send through the miles
The distance between
To your heart’s files
Why don’t you open
Yourself to me?
I know it’s not you
To open be
To the moon
Talk to the moon

I’ll sit and talk to it
Maybe something will come through
Talk to it and hear you
Could you give me a clear view?
I had a dream ‘bout you
Felt something strong and painful
Could it be what locks you
From opening up in full?
Or am I just crazy?

Sitting here writing
One thousand miles
What’s really in you?
In your heart’s files?
Do you see how hard
I try to help?
And how much it hurts
When you push help
To the moon
I’ll be home soon

Beyond the moon there lies
Something I want to see bad
Beyond the moon thin lives
Nothing concealed, good or bad
Beyond the moon I’ll see
The hurt that drives you back hard
Did I catch a glimpse there
Of the pain that is too hard
For you to take alone?

Sure you say you don’t
Need any help
Tell me nothing’s wrong
Then why the hell
Can’t you open up
To anyone?
I say there must be
Something, shy one
Tell the moon
I’ll hear soon

I’ll sit and talk to it
And just maybe you can hear
I’ll say what I see fit
And just maybe you I’ll hear
Telling me what hides you
Just maybe how to get through
I want to know how to
Just let me get through to you
Past the moon to your heart

Beyond the moon there lies
The clearest view of your heart
Beyond the moon the lives
No longer hidden from me
Beyond the moon all clear
No one has to hide to be
Pass your heart to the moon
And maybe I’ll see
I’m coming home soon.
