All I Wanted Was the Moon Lyrics by Josephine Foster

This Coming Gladness

0

All i wanted was the moon
But i left the earth too soon
In a ship that had no room
For my love to come, my groom
And now a forest grows between us
Now a forest grows between us
So leave the empty castle
Burn it to a ruin
All i wanted was the sun
But when i left i left undone
Grains of desert sand begun
Painted yellow one by one
And now a forest grows between us
Now a forest grows between us
So leave the empty castle
Burn it to a ruin
All i need now is the stars, shining stars
Distant suns and moons afar
Wonder, wonder where you are
Please dear, leave the door ajar
