Pale Moonlight Songtext
von The Gray Havens

In the pale moonlight
In the dark, in the dead of night
Second hand from a star it shines
The fire′s on

Cold touch of an ancient rhyme
There's a god that I left behind
Second-hand everywhere I find
The fire′s gone

They told me keep to your course
In chasin' after desire
I'm not findin′ a source
Like some sun-gold fire

But maybe I′ve been sold a lie
I can't find a light
Tell me how many go down and never return
To the sunlit lands, heaven please
Have I lost ′em for good


Had a dream where I went to find
Far away, over seas and time
The lost shores of a distant island, for so long

Woke up to the pale moonlight
Cold touch of an ancient rhyme
Second-hand everywhere, I'll find it
The first one

They told me keep to your course
In chasin′ after desire
I'm not findin′ a source
Like some sun-gold fire

But maybe I've been sold a lie
I can't find a light
Tell me how many go down and never return
To the sunlit lands, heaven please

But maybe I′ve been sold a lie
I can′t find a light
Tell me how many go down and never return
To the sunlit lands, heaven please
Have I lost 'em for good
