Bargain with the Moon

Oh fate she is a fickle and a mean thing

She’ll grant to you and steal from you in kind

But the cruelest way that she pulls on the heartstrings

Is to bring back up a love you’d left behind

And he’s the mythic hypothetical in motion

Always had the heart, but never had the time

And I know now that I can’t have him forever

But at least I can hold him for the night

So I’ll bargain with the moon for all the night that we have left

I’d pull down every single star

And hold ‘em tight into my chest

Because the morning sun will rise

And there’s a train that you gotta catch

Oh yes the morning sun will rise

And there’s a train that you gotta catch

They say that distance only makes the heart grow fonder

Gives wild imaginings a pretty rosy spin

But to hold you even only for a moment

Is to finally know the thing we could’ve been

So I’ll bargain with the moon for all the night that we have left

I’d pull down every single star

And hold ‘em tight into my chest

Because the morning sun will rise

And there’s a train that you gotta catch

Oh yes the morning sun will rise

And there’s a train that you gotta catch

The taste of knowing what you’ve lost, it lingers bittersweet

And loving you’s a losing battle but I can’t admit defeat

So I’ll bargain with the moon for all the night that we have left

I’d pull down every single star

And hold ‘em tight into my chest

Because the morning sun will rise

And there’s a train that you gotta catch

Oh yes the morning sun will rise

And there’s a train that you gotta catch

I’d steal every shadow from the second hand

I’d tear the dawn up at its seams

To never yield to its demands

Because the morning sun will rise

And there’s a train that you gotta catch

Oh yes the morning sun will rise

And there’s a train that you gotta catch
