The Moon In Our Yard

THE MOON IN OUR YARD

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

AUGUST 2018

TOO MUCH HONEY, A LITTLE SOUR

TELL ME WHAT WOULD PLEASE YOU

PERFECTION IS FANTASY

WRAPPED IN A POINT OF VIEW

FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE

NOTHING MUCH HAS CHANGED

YOU CAN LIVE IN A FAKE WORLD

I'LL GO ON LIVING IN A DREAM

THAT DOESN'T RELY ON ILLUSION

TRY TO DODGE

 THE ENSUING CONFUSION

THAT FOLLOWS YOU

ON A WHIRLWIND OF CURIOUS CONCERN

NOW EVERYTHING THAT WAS

IS BROKEN

I THOUGHT YOU KNEW

RE-ASSIGNED, DESTINED

 FOR A CHANCE ANEW

LET'S START THIS BEGINNING

 FROM AN END 

YOU AND I, I NEED A FRIEND

LEAD EACH OTHER THROUGH

THE DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT

SURELY LOVE HAS GOT TO WIN

A SMILE A LAUGH, A LOOK

A SUDDEN COOL BREEZE

AND UNDERSTANDING

 OF WHO WE ARE

STARS IN THE SKY

FIREFLIES IN THE WOODS

THE MOON IN OUR YARD

A SIMPLER LIFE

WHERE WE WON'T HAVE TO

WORK SO HARD

THE BEATING OF WINGS

AS THE EAGLE ALIGHTS

SHE SOARS TO THE HEIGHTS

STANDING THERE IN SILENCE AND AWE

TO BELIEVE IN THAT ONE THING

 THAT I SAW

A SIGN AN OMEN IN GOOD FAITH

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS ASK

LOCKED ON A VISION

SOMETHING I NEED

ALL THAT I ASKED FOR

IT ISN'T REALLY MUCH

NOT SO CRAZY, OUT OF TOUCH

SURE YOU COULD SAY

I LIKE TO KEEP IT REAL

WAY DOWN DEEP

OH I THINK I FEEL IT RISE

SUN IS COMING UP

WIPES THE MOONLIGHT

 FROM MY EYES

THIS CRAZY WORLD WILL STALL

TIME SEEMS TO CRAWL

  THROUGH THE FLAMES

YOU REACH THE WATER IN TIME

AVERTED DISASTER

LIFE IS MOVING FASTER

TAKING THE LONG WAY

WHY IS IT THEN

WE STILL CAN'T SEE THE END

PLEASE WON'T YOU

TELL US WHEN

SURELY LOVE HAS GOT TO WIN
