Well, the moon I know, in the town I live
is steady as she waits
It seems as though she yearns for me
and calls me by my name
Sometimes she says come to me, kiss me while it's late
And other nights she's just hanging with the stars

And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes
And what if he never comes when you call?

And, "hey, it's alright, " she says
"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night
Hey, in another life, " she says
"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago. "

"Don't look back
"I heard a voice, in velvet I couldn't see
The pictures then were black and white
and the details were in between
I heard about a woman once
who did everything ever asked of her
She died last week and her last words were
"it wasn't worth it. "

And I've seen her patience through all her mistakes
And who's gonna save you now?

And, "hey, it's alright, " she says
"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night
Hey, in another life, " she says
"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago. "

"Hey, it's alright, " she says
"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night
Hey, in another life, " she says
"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago. "

"Hey, it's alright, " she says
"Hey, in another life, " she says

Way back when, when we became friends
I was you, you were my defense
And quiet was the night
You showed me that bridge, and it brought you home
You told me about it and I never let it go
And I guess I might've been doing the same
Anyhow, quiet was the night
