Lyrics for I Wish I Was the Moon

Chimney falls and lovers blaze Thought that I was young Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins As numb as I've become I'm so tired I wish I was the moon tonight Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name 'Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same I'm so lonely I wish I was the moon tonight God blessed me, I'm a free man With no place free to go I'm paralyzed and collared-tight No pills for what I fear This is crazy I wish I was the moon tonight Chimney falls as lovers blaze Thought that I was young Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins As numb as I've become I'm so tired I wish I was the moon tonight How will you know if you found me at last? 'Cause I'll be the one, be the one, be the one With my heart in my lap I'm so tired, I'm so tired And I wish I was the moon tonight I'm so tired, I'm so tired And I wish I was the moon I'm so tired, I'm so tired And I wish I was the moon tonight
