The moon is whole
You know it
And i do too
But if you choose to see it
For the shape it shows
Beneath a shadow
That should do too
That should do too

The moon is scarred
You know it
And i do too
But if you want to see it
As unblemished
Calm
Luminous
That should do too
That should do too.

The whole, scarred moon
Rocks the ocean
Turns the silvery sea putty
It churns the blood in my veins
But if you think
The ocean has its own fathomless might
And my blood listens to my heart
That should do too
That should do too.
