all I wanted was the moon (lyrics)

all I wanted was the moon to keep

so I stepped outside.


all I wanted was to drink the sea

then she arrived.


all I wanted was the stars in my dreams

so I fell asleep.


all I wanted was to know my mother
so I let her weep
so I let her weep

and she cried
and she cried
on my shoulder
and she cried.

a long pretty road
saw way for my footsteps
I carried her through the day

and while we slept
beneath the soft willow
the night swept our sadness away



away....




all I wanted was my heart to sing
so I held her hand.


all I wanted was my friend to be free

so I let him go


so I let him go




away....
