Years ago before the water came
Before our time was up
And we were washed away
You’d held me under a golden sun
And on the silken sand we walked in bare feet making plans
And I feel you now when the darkness comes
And the red moon rises every part of me wants to run
To wherever you are
To wherever you landed
But I don’t know where to start
I got a heart left stranded
Years ago long before the flood
before the levee came down
And we were pulled under
You’d kissed me under a floral arch
Promising to stay through both the easy and the hard
Those days have past
But I hear you now when the darkness comes
And the red moon rises every part of me wants to run
To wherever you are
To wherever you landed
But I don’t know where to start
I got a heart left stranded
Are you thinking of me too?
Are you thinking of that day
Your fingers slipped through mine
And you were pulled away?
Are we looking at the same sky?
Are you looking up too?
Are we looking at the same night?
At the same red moon?
At the same red moon…
At the same red moon…
At the same red moon…
At the same red moon…
Years ago when our hearts were dry
When the sea lay still
And the moon was white
I’d loved you
