Moontide from Moodtide by Distant Hands

Moontide somewhere in California
A slow dive where they will never mourn you
Out on the water redemption can be found
Forgotten daughter something tells me you’ll be coming round

I know a secret
Would you like me to share?

Moontide, I usually move along by now
Stop the ride, you have caught my heart somehow
Forgetting restraint...Anna, I want to marry you
Blue and white paint, with hung curtains made by you

Do you have a secret
That I don’t want to know

I have forgotten the details
Of the night we met
But I’ve given up the drink
You better, you bet

These hands have done unfortunate things
Taking and breaking what they could not borrow
But they will no longer roam at will
Or be idle as the bartender of sorrow

Moontide, attempted murder in California
But you’re alive and he’s no longer around to scorn you
Forgotten daughter, I’ll carry your heart with mine
Beside the water, across the throes of time

I don’t need your secrets
Because all is well…
