Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean

Moon plays the ocean like a violin

Pushing and pulling from shore to shore

Biggest melody you never heard before

What if I were the night sky

What if I were the night sky

Here's my lullaby my lullaby to leave by

Lullaby to leave by

If I was a night

What if we hadn't been born at the same time

What if you were 75 and I were 9

Would I come visit you

Bring you cookies in an old folks' home

Would you be there alone

And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms

Will I remember to breathe No I never will

And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm

Just want to show you how not to need

What if I were the night sky

Here's my lullaby my lullaby to leave by

If I was a night

What if we hadn't been each other at the same time

Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime

Would I rock you to sleep

Would you tell me all the secrets you don't need to keep

Would I still miss you

Or would you then have been mine

Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean

Moon plays the ocean like a violin
