"I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night,
Shining with the light from the sun.
But the sun doesn't give the light to the moon assuming,
The moon's gonna owe it one."
This sounds like it might be based on the quotation by a poet in the 1300s:
Even after all this time,
the sun never says to the earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with a love like that.
It lights the whole sky.
-Hafiz
It might not be relevant to the interpretation of the song, but I thought it was interesting.
