Yesterday winter spoke And told me you had gone I guess I should've known You wouldn't stay too long I've never been closer to the sea I've never been closer to the sea Went to the widow's walk To see if you'd returned Walked 'til I couldn't speak And all my words had burned I've never been closer to the sea I've never been closer to the sea Do I speak too soon Under the lover's moon? So I keep lookin' out The waves keep me alive I serenade every night Just waitin' for a sign I hope that they send you Back to me I hope that they send you Back to me Do I speak too soon Under the lover's moon?
