Balcony

baby baby

hey baby open the door

cause i'm riding the moon

outside your window

and the shadows are going to throw me in

throw me overboard

sliding down the rooftops 

a careless scrap of bark

coasting the cement waves

and i'm here i'm here

so open up

cause who we are

is going to change

and i can feel time draining out my soul

so grab me quick

in this moment where

theres a doorway between us

and not the careful silences 

of everything that has gone before

throw open the curtains 

let the moonlight slide in

and down and down

across the cold floor like water

and baby i'll take you sailing

out on a cloud 

we'll climb aboard

and sail off on the streams of wind

i'll shuttle us along

for a pole i'll use a song

and for a sail a dream

we'll be ones they sing about 

those that just peeked through the shutters

and muttered in their dreams

 we'll be the effigies

they burn on their silent altars

with the incense of prayer

and sacrifices of despair

'let me be like them'

they'll pray to the wind and the stars

who won't listen

won't care

they only love the lovers

who know the taste of air

slide open the sash

let the night pull you here

cause baby this moment's what we've got

and no time for fear

fingertip by fingertip

we'll make a way beyond the rips

of time that cut us to shreds

let's go cause baby

someday love won't be enough

lets grab this moment and run

cause the moon is only good

when there is no sun

climb aboard

we're off on the dream of a lifetime

leaving the dreamers to toss

and turn back to daylight

wondering whatever became

of their lives

We know how the story goes...
