Lyrics
Before the Moon Comes Down
VS. 1.
When things of the day begin to droop and drowse
When the setting of the sun brings the gathering of clouds
When the purple, blue and grey prepare the sky for night
That's when we greet the fading light
VS. 2.
Somethin' 'bout spruce and rosewood strung with silver wire
Makes us want to sing out, like a songbird choir
Somethin' 'bout the way our fingers dance upon the strings
Playin' each note 'til it's time for the joy the next one brings
Chorus
With softness in our faces, with free and easy graces
A melody is found and we charm the air with sound
With the infinity of stars, we cradle our guitars
And live in this restless ecstasy turnin' tunes around
Before the moon comes down (3x)
VS. 3.
We need to feel love like we need to play
We need to touch comfort every single day
We need that special safety only found in dark
To feel so much, to open hearts
Instrumental
With the infinity of stars, we cradle our guitars
And live in this restless ecstasy turnin' tunes around
Before the moon comes down (3x)
