Lyrics for The Man In The Moon

There I stood in the night Out on the broken pier Me with my feet in the sea You with your face in the clouds The man in the moon And as I heard your voice Felt your laugh Flood across the broken pier I wanted to die right then and there You smiled down across the waves As if to say to me "Everything will be okay, Be strong and true" And I felt your eyes Like the tide Pulling me out into the air For a moment in time You held me there And I felt your eyes Like the tide Pulling me out into the air For a moment in time You help me there Father and son Home again
