Forget the Moon, Forget the Sun

I've seen so much I thought to myself

I've learned so much in such a short time

I've been through so many changes

I hope they were worthwhile

If not then please forget me and

Forget all I've ever done

Forget the moon, forget the sun

I've been through life, I've been through death

I’ve seen the sunrise on the other side

And I've been running through an endless moor

With my lovely Irish bride

Her dark curls, her full lips

Her bare desire was her springtime gift

Forget the dawn, forget the trip

I’ve heard the song of a million years

I picked the road of a million miles

And I’ve been traveling with the night of pearls

I never stopped and I never lied

Faithful down to the very last drop

Yearning for the summer to come

Forget the moon, forget the sun

In lands of dreams, on twilight dunes

Where I’ve been searching for a perfect rhyme

I’ve spent the summer on a moonlit shore

I picked up pieces I thought were yours and mine

I picked them all and then against the sky

Lines of our lives did run

Forget the moon, forget the sun

Through other eyes, in other worlds

In other thoughts and other times

I've been the distance from the runner's shade

I’ve searched for freedom where the war drew lines

At dawn I've heard silent flutes emerge

Between those piercing guns

Forget the moon, forget the sun
