When The Moon Serenades You

"I sang this to Meghan in the woods that night. It kept burning in me, so later on, I had to finish it."


Take my hand in the glow of the night
Moving together till the morning light
I kiss your neck, you draw me near
Time stops, but your heartbeat I hear
And the world adores you

(CHORUS)
When the air warms your skin
When the tides are rushing in
When the stars are in the sky
Shining down for you and I
When the waters understand
When they're moving through your hands
Washing over you
When the moon serenades you

And we're breathing each other's air
And your every exhale is the hunger I bear
I'm your knight in shining armor from a far, exotic land
I'll cover you from danger with everything I can
And I still adore you

(CHORUS)
When the air warms your skin
When the tides are rushing in
When the stars are in the sky
Shining down for you and I
When the waters understand
When they're moving through your hands
Washing over you
When the moon serenades you
