Moon at the Window Lyrics
It takes cheerful resignation
Heart and humility
That’s all it takes
A cheerful person told me
Nobody’s harder on me than me
How could they be?
And nobody’s harder on you than you
Betsy’s blue
She says—“Tell me something good!”
You know I’d help her out if I only could
Oh, but sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window—
The thieves left that behind.
People don’t know how to love
They taste it and toss it
Turn it off and on
Like a bathtub faucet
Oh, sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find—
At least the moon at the window—
The thieves left that behind.
I wish her heart
I know these battles
Deep in the dark
When the spooks of memories rattle
Ghosts of the future
Phantoms of the past
Rattle, rattle, rattle
In the spoon and the glass.
Is it possible to learn
How to care and yet not care—
Since love has two faces—
Hope and despair
And pleasure always turns to fear
I find—
At least the moon at the window—
The thieves left that behind
Moon at the window
They left that behind
At least they left the moon behind the blind
Moon at the window.
Heart and humility
That’s all it takes
A cheerful person told me
Nobody’s harder on me than me
How could they be?
And nobody’s harder on you than you
She says—“Tell me something good!”
You know I’d help her out if I only could
Oh, but sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window—
The thieves left that behind.
They taste it and toss it
Turn it off and on
Like a bathtub faucet
Oh, sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find—
At least the moon at the window—
The thieves left that behind.
I know these battles
Deep in the dark
When the spooks of memories rattle
Ghosts of the future
Phantoms of the past
Rattle, rattle, rattle
In the spoon and the glass.
How to care and yet not care—
Since love has two faces—
Hope and despair
And pleasure always turns to fear
I find—
At least the moon at the window—
The thieves left that behind
Moon at the window
They left that behind
At least they left the moon behind the blind
Moon at the window.
