[Verse 1]
I’m bathing in moonlight
Under the night sky
Letting time go by
Slow as a sigh
Crickets in the hedges
Counting out the dark
Your name on my tongue
Like a sparking mark
[Trombone Answer]
Mm, mm
So near, so far
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t need a reason
To stay where I am
The whole world is sleeping
But I’m still caught in this hands
The moon keeps pouring
Silver on my skin
I lean back and listen
Let the night come in
[Chorus]
Moonlight on my shoulders
Moonlight on my skin
I’m staying right here
Let the midnight win
Moonlight on my shoulders
Moonlight on my skin
Hold me in the still
Let the hush begin
[(moonlight on my shoulders)]
[(moonlight on my skin)]
[Verse 2]
Grass keeps its cool
Beneath my bare feet
A trombone sighs soft
From somewhere down the street
I tilt my face up
To the open blue-black sea
And every small sound
Feels like it knows me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t need a reason
To stay where I am
The whole world is sleeping
But I’m still caught in this hands
The moon keeps pouring
Silver on my skin
I lean back and listen
Let the night come in
[Chorus]
Moonlight on my shoulders
Moonlight on my skin
I’m staying right here
Let the midnight win
Moonlight on my shoulders
Moonlight on my skin
Hold me in the still
Let the hush begin
[(moonlight on my shoulders)]
[(moonlight on my skin)]
[Bridge]
If tomorrow comes fast
Let it find me slow
With the crickets in the grass
And the cool wind low
No hurry, no warning
Just this velvet air
I was made for a moment
That can breathe me there
[Chorus]
Moonlight on my shoulders
Moonlight on my skin
I’m staying right here
Let the midnight win
Moonlight on my shoulders
Moonlight on my skin
Hold me in the still
Let the hush begin
[(moonlight on my shoulders)]
[(moonlight on my skin)]
