Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end Sun digs its heels to taunt you But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same Rises the moon Days fade into a watercolour blur Memories swim and haunt you But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke Rises the moon Oh-oh, close your weary eyes I promise you that soon the autumn comes To darken fading summer skies Breathe, breathe, breathe Days pull you down just like a sinking ship Floating is getting harder But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile Rises the moon Days pull you up just like a daffodil Uprooted from its garden They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so Rises the moon You'll be visited by sleep I promise you that soon the autumn comes To steal away each dream you keep Breathe, breathe, breathe
