“The Moon Is Down”

Ben Cooper

There ain't no moon tonight / It's hard for me to see / But if I can catch a glimpse of you / It helps me feel at ease / It helps me sleep

All my life I've watched you dance along / To music that I can't hear / I ain't equipped to hear those songs

I like the way you talk / About all the things you've seen / You make the world seem small / For a time / Though it's still too big for me

All my life I've watched you dance along / To music that I can't hear / I ain't equipped to hear those songs

You were never at rest / You were always somewhere-bound / But as for me, I'm the simple kind / I'll live and die in this town / And I know my home ain't big enough / That it’d only keep you down / And I'd hate to see you caged / So all that I ask / Is you come say, “hi”when you're around

It ain't much / But it's good enough for me
