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.
