i wish i was the moon

"chimney falls and lovers blaze

i thought that i was young

now i've freezing hands and bloodless veins

as numb as i've become

i'm so tired

i wish i was the moon tonight

last night i dreamt i had forgotten my name

'cause i had sold my soul but awoke just the same

i'm so lonely

i wish i was the moon tonight
