Ari Herstand - Beneath the Moon Lyrics

From the Album: Whispering Endearments

My sheets are tangled
around my legs inside my room
I twist my angle
to free my thoughts and lose this tune
that’s been tugging from that night I left
my necktie in your room
that’s been humming in the air each night
I lay awake
beneath the moon

A different battle
Every night a tangle war
My thoughts are shadows
darkened by your light with more
sleepless nights staring at the moon
The same light that once lit the hammock
where we first kissed that June
beneath the moon

If you could feel the loss that has been blinding me
You wouldn’t be so quick to make me lose my sleep
But you don’t help me hold onto that night
I lost my sight
beneath the moon

I bought a new necktie
the first since I lost the last for good
I made it a black tie
This won’t stain like the last one could

The moon is falling sun’s coming up
Another night I lost looking up
I can’t let go of your melting smile
I can’t let go of my inner child
I lie
Awake I try
Too late to cry
Away you fly
