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 watercolour 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
