It's the silence that comes From the moon and the sun And the cold in my nose When the weather is wrong The smoke and the girl I am running from That keeps me alive The winter, the church and the ones who know What I am not telling the rest of you The most of the world and the undertow That gives me the right A place in the eye of the universe On a rock with a heart of manure A city where the bullies and the mockingbirds Can live side by side That's where I want to begin when I reach the end Again and again and again and again And stay with my family and my friends In the lunar light
