Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean Moon plays the ocean like a violin Pushing and pulling from shore to shore Biggest melody you never heard before What if I were the night sky I were the night sky Is my lullaby to leave burn What if we hadn't been born at the same time What if you were 75 and I were 9 Would I come visit you Bring you cookies in an old folks home Would you be there alone And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms Will I remember to breathe no I never will And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm Just want to show you how not to need If I were the night sky If I were the night sky Here's my lullaby My lullaby to leave by My lullaby to leave by If I were the night What if we hadn't been each other at the same time Would you tell me all the stories from when you're young and in your prime Would I rock you to sleep Would you tell me all the secrets you don't need to keep Would I still miss you Or would you then have been mine Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean Moon plays the ocean like a violin
