Well, the moon I know, in the town I live

is steady as she waits

It seems as though she yearns for me

and calls me by my name

Sometimes she says come to me, kiss me while it's late

And other nights she's just hanging with the stars

And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes

And what if he never comes when you call?

And, "hey, it's alright, " she says

"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night

Hey, in another life, " she says

"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago. "

"Don't look back

"I heard a voice, in velvet I couldn't see

The pictures then were black and white

and the details were in between

I heard about a woman once

who did everything ever asked of her

She died last week and her last words were

"it wasn't worth it. "

And I've seen her patience through all her mistakes

And who's gonna save you now?

And, "hey, it's alright, " she says

"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night

Hey, in another life, " she says

"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago. "

"Hey, it's alright, " she says

"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night

Hey, in another life, " she says

"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago. "

"Hey, it's alright, " she says

"Hey, in another life, " she says

Way back when, when we became friends

I was you, you were my defense

And quiet was the night

You showed me that bridge, and it brought you home

You told me about it and I never let it go

And I guess I might've been doing the same

Anyhow, quiet was the night
