Moon on the Water Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well will you fill my head with stories
'til I close my eyes and dream until the dawn
And when I’m sleeping tell me secrets
Tell me things you've never told no one before
And when you wake up hiding nothing
Maybe you'll know how it feels to be born
I could wake up feeling something for the first time in so long

[Verse 2]
And we could walk down towards the sea
In the new shoes I bought you
Stay there for all of the day
While the sun plays on the water

[Verse 3]
Well will you fill me with excitement
Like the feeling that we felt on Christmas Eve
When we didn’t know to laugh
Or to cry in to our sleeves
And I know some things are not real
But in you I truly feel I believe
When we lie down on your bed
I press my head down on your chest and hear you breathe

[Verse 4]
Well I know it's late but let's go to the sea
I know a way that is shorter
And we could sink out under the stars
You can wear my woolen jumper
And we can sink out in to the stones
You can lay upon my shoulder
And we could stay there all of the night
While the moon rests on the water
While the moon rests on the water
While the moon rests on the water

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
