paint the moon

I had a dream last night
a nightmare to be exact
we couldn’t take the heat
and the sweat dripped from our backs
I didn’t go I waited for the midnight sun
I didn’t want to leave you
‘cause I don’t have anyone

don’t paint the sun anymore
paint the moon,
and the stars in an autumn sky
paint me cool blue waters,
with shades of gray,
just don’t let me live my life this way
without you

let it go, let it go
let it fall down from the sky
and leave this world behind

I saw you suffering,
so I knelt down by your side,
I saw that you were fading,
that you were leaving your own mind
I gave you water
just to soothe your failing heart
and take away the fears
of what we both know we will find

don’t paint the sun anymore
paint the moon,
and the stars in an autumn sky
paint me cool blue waters,
with shades of gray,
just don’t let me live my life this way
without you
