You say no my love

That's not the moon

That's god's fingernail

And he's pointing at you

Saying the world is at your feet

So what you gonna do

No my love

That's not the moon

And we sing old sad songs

The whole night through

And as the stars look on

I'm just looking at you

And when the words do come

They fall heavy as the truth

Yeah the best of me

Are just the pieces of the best of you
