MONET'S ORBIT | Painted Moon

Every time I look I see you holding me, but I’m not there.
I feel you sailing on the memory of my midnight hair.
I hear you sliding into pools too shallow for us both.
I see you running from your fear.
I see you riding on a ghost.

Riding riding riding on a ghost.
Riding riding riding on a ghost.

I did not intend for you to lose me, but I came too soon.
I found you naked in the crater of a painted moon.
I heard you weeping into images you could not find.
I saw you running from your fear.
I saw you riding on your mind.

Riding riding riding on your mind.
Riding riding riding on your mind.

Happiness is water on the pavement when the black bird screams.
I counted sheep between your shadow and my snow white dreams.
And if the earth decides to spin again as we look on,
I see us running from our fear.
I see us riding on a song.

Riding riding riding on a song.
Riding riding riding on a song.
