Sober Moon

from Sober Moon by Ali Murray

lyrics

I'm sorry I was never there
I was not old enough to care
I have nothing left to lose
so I'll dream of you
beneath the sober moon...

-

In the stillness of a photograph
In a hazy memory
I remember you way back then
silently watching over me

Long ago in a peaceful place
Burning out the hours down to the core
I think of you and smile
and you remain unknowing, forever more

Now time casts a shadow over my body
and the machines of age have taken my mind
I've worn this mask for so long
It's become to hard to remove, I find

The years have been harsh and unforgiving
I've been blanketed in its cold embrace
I'll blow a kiss to the stars above
and leave without a trace

I watch all the events of my life occur
but I comprehend nothing
I feel the world shed its skin and brim with tears
but I learn nothing at all

The moon shines down
on the dark and lonely streets
Tonight our fears have subsided
and our lies remain discreet

It's so quiet now I can almost hear your thoughts
lost in corridors and ocean depths
and there are many cracks in the wall
where I solemnly slept

These days are comatose
and so much has come and gone
My throat constricts and my heart swells
as time carries on...
