Text

DShe was morning

and I was night time.

I one day woke up to find her lyin'

beGside my bed.

I softly said,

"Come Dtake me."

For DI've been lonely,

in need of someone

As though I'd done

someone wrong somewhere,

but I Gdon't know where.

I don't know where,

come Dlately

GYou are the sun,

AI am the moon,

G/BYou are the words,

A7I am the tune,

Dplay me.

DSong, she sang to me,

song she brang to me,

Words that rang in me,

rhyme that sprang from me

Gwarmed the night.

And what was right

Dbecame me.

GYou are the sun,

AI am the moon,

G/BYou are the words,

A7I am the tune,

Dplay me.

So it Dwas

that I came to travel,

Upon a road

that was thorned and narrow,

another Gplace,

Another grace

would Dsave me.

GYou are the sun,

AI am the moon,

G/BYou are the words,

A7I am the tune,

Dplay me. Dsus4 D

AI am the moon,
