A Thousand Splended Suns

and you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

laid back and I'm restless in the daytime
and I'm chased by these shadows oh thats haunting me
and then you come with nighttimes woolly blanket
and you wrap me like a child who's been in the rain too long

and you light up the night
just like the moon
just like the moon you light up the night
and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

oh I've chased the moon, ya know I've tried
and each time I've tried, each time I've failed
and each time I get so down on myself
and I can't stand this pace of a snail
while the rest of the world pales all the night
ya know I
know that I can probably never be the same
