Moon and Morning Sun
I saw a light shine up on a ridge
where I knew a light couldn't be
and then I saw it was just a star
shining down through the trees.
Maybe one wish could come true
if wishes on stars have come
for Marni is the moon and morning sun.
When she's here I think of things
that I don't know how to say.
The song I wrote for her I sing
to the dark after she's gone away
but if I speak too soon
I could lose what I might have won
for Marni is the moon and morning sun.
And could it be that for all my life
all I've learned is how to say good-bye?
I think of friends I used to have
that I don't know how to find
but I won't count the friends I lose
if I can only have this one
for Marni is the moon and morning sun.
I look up at the cloudy sky
and wish that I could see her face
for if I could look into her eyes
it would brighten my night and my day.
Where weeds and wildflowers bloom
I will find a place for us
for Marni is the moon and morning sun.
