Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end Sun digs its heels to taunt you But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same Rises the Moon Days fade into a watercolor blur Memories swim and haunt you But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke Rises the Moon Oh, close your weary eyes I promise you that soon the autumn comes To darken fading summer skies Breathe breathe breathe Days pull you down just like a sinking ship Floating is getting harder But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile Rises the Moon Days pull you up just like a daffodil Uprooted from its garden They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so Rises the Moon You'll be visited by sleep I promise you that soon the autumn comes To steal away each dream you keep Breathe breathe breathe
