lyrics
Beyond the great divide of space and skin and time
I have found a place
To rest my face
I hoped you wouldn’t mind
It feels so good that I don’t know when to leave
Stay with me, if only
Inside a haze of memories that race along
Empty streets like lightning streaks in my head
But underneath the gutters and concrete
There’s a quiet storm in brilliant form
Blue and red
I lose my faith in words when no one’s ever heard it
Pronounced before—the light that pours from your stare,
Igniting flames, I know, I ought to tame
But I let them burn...
And sparks will turn into wild, wild fires
And while a gap between desire and love has grown
It’s still unknown where it ends
And it begins; the sacred and the sin
Of a heart that’s torn, heaving warm
Blue and red
And all at once I am alone
And alive
Take a number. cross a line
Technicolor down my spine
And if it’s only in your time
Then I can wait
And now the night is casting stars
Like broken glass into jet black seas endlessly
Overhead and out of reach
I feel the pull in each of my shaking bones—
"Don’t lose control!”
And all at once, I am alone
And alive
Take a number, cross a line
Technicolor or black and white
And if it’s only in your time
Then don’t be late 🙏
(But I can wait)
I have found a place
To rest my face
I hoped you wouldn’t mind
It feels so good that I don’t know when to leave
Stay with me, if only
Inside a haze of memories that race along
Empty streets like lightning streaks in my head
But underneath the gutters and concrete
There’s a quiet storm in brilliant form
Blue and red
I lose my faith in words when no one’s ever heard it
Pronounced before—the light that pours from your stare,
Igniting flames, I know, I ought to tame
But I let them burn...
And sparks will turn into wild, wild fires
And while a gap between desire and love has grown
It’s still unknown where it ends
And it begins; the sacred and the sin
Of a heart that’s torn, heaving warm
Blue and red
And all at once I am alone
And alive
Take a number. cross a line
Technicolor down my spine
And if it’s only in your time
Then I can wait
And now the night is casting stars
Like broken glass into jet black seas endlessly
Overhead and out of reach
I feel the pull in each of my shaking bones—
"Don’t lose control!”
And all at once, I am alone
And alive
Take a number, cross a line
Technicolor or black and white
And if it’s only in your time
Then don’t be late 🙏
(But I can wait)

about
Girl From The Moon Phoenix, Arizona
I am Girl From The Moon. I don't know how I got here or how long I'll be here. I arrived in 1983 and am still adjusting to life on earth. I learned the language of music to connect with other foreign souls.
