It's been eighteen years of waiting For the moon to get this bright It’s never looked so big It’s never looked so white And we watch it kiss the mountaintop And illuminate the night And the sweetness of the moment passes through It washes over me, like its washing over you And God himself is doing something new He’s washing over me, like he’s washing over you In the sweetness of a moment passing through The air is so much colder When you climb into the clouds And the whisper of creation Has never been so loud And standing on the mountaintop Our feet touch holy ground And the sweetness of the moment passes through It washes over me like its washing over you And God himself is doing something new He’s washing over me, like he’s washing over you In the sweetness of a moment passing through We’re taking in a breath of something true

In our corner apartment We build webs in the wind And forgot where we started Until we got there again As the streets grew familiar It came time to move on So we kept all the lyrics But changed up the song We’re beginners again Conducting an amateur band Writing our hopes in the sand Because we're bound to begin again In my dreams I still see it The way everything was We were building a world that was meant To be packed up So don't be afraid Of saying goodbye Everything changes my darling We're caught in time

If I sing for you tonight Humming at your bedside I promise when I go I’ll learn a song we both know The years they stand between Common ground for you and me But a friendship here can grow From the roots of a song we both know We’ll sing, we’ll sing And healing comes that only melody can bring There’s a way for us to dance over all our faults As we sing to Let It Be or The Tennessee Waltz And you can fall asleep while I play slow The tune of a song we both know And time has taken you To the edge of what you once knew The fire in your eyes Has all but flickered out and died But I can see it on your face You’re in some other time and place Where you’re free from all your cares This old song can take you there

You give me grace, you give me hell And what’s coming next I can never tell And your requests all sound like taunts When what I have is not what you want So I’m asking questions What went wrong here? Do we know? So I’m asking questions Where’s the blame lie? Let it show We disagree on how to fight You swing left and I swing right And I keep hoping that we’re done Each time an argument is won So I’m not sorry that I left I Got tired of mixing love and theft And time will reap what grace has sown But whose to blame we’ll never know
