Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same
Rises the Moon

Days fade into a watercolor blur
Memories swim and haunt you
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the Moon

Oh, close your weary eyes
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To darken fading summer skies
Breathe breathe breathe

Days pull you down just like a sinking ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the Moon

Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so
Rises the Moon

You'll be visited by sleep
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To steal away each dream you keep
Breathe breathe breathe
