half a moon

Don't look so blue darlin'
The night is not just for the lonelies
We'll borrow the moon from the sky
We'll split her in halves and
keep her in your pocket
We'll adore her after dinner
And since now it's too cold down here in winter
We'll just save the other half for summer.

Let's tidy up this mess honey
Although the fault was entirely mine
I'm kinda hoping that you'll own up to some of it
We'll grab the vacuum cleaner from the neighbour
She wouldn't mind too much I think
She too has a broken heart
We'll leave some biscuits and tea at her door
'cause really now it's too cold down here in winter
That's the least we can do for her.

I know you needed to go away darlin'
I'll close my eyes and spin the map
Point your finger and I'll keep mine behind my back
'cause I don't want to make these decisions honey
And all the sun and sand won't be good enough
without your shadow and your castle
But now it's too cold down here in winter
Long distrance travels make my bones crackle and shiver.

I'm writing this for you honey
I've got nothing else to do
The heater's not working and
the neighbour moved yesterday
She told me to say hi to you
see I told you she likes you
Everyone does
They bring you flowers
And scented letters

See it's much colder now here in winter
Because you're not here.
