Lyrics
You rolled your jeans up to the knee and sat down on the dock Your boxes in the back seat and your whole life on the clock Tomorrow it's two thousand miles and a city I can't see Tonight it's just the lake, the frogs, and you, and me We used to swim out to the raft and dare each other back Now neither of us moves, we just let the water lap Don't say goodbye yet The moon's not done Moon on the water Silver on your face Hold it a little longer Hold it in its place Moon on the water Ripples when we breathe You can take the morning Leave the moon with me You braided up my hair the way that Mama used to do Your fingers in the dark, so careful and so true You said, "Call me on Sundays," I said, "I'll call you every night" You laughed and said, "You won't," and maybe you were right But every time I see it rising over any town I'll know you see it too, and I won't feel so far down Don't say goodbye yet The moon's not done Moon on the water Silver on your face Hold it a little longer Hold it in its place Moon on the water Ripples when we breathe You can take the morning Leave the moon with me Sister, sister Swim out with me one more time Sister, sister The water's warm tonight Moon on the water Silver on your face Moon on the water Leave the moon with me Leave the moon with me
