When I Kissed The Moon's Ear Lyrics

All I wanted was the rose

That once belonged to me

Sailing through the highs and lows

Of an undulating sea

But I left them all behind

When I bid my fine farewell

To the body and the mind

And my soul escaped its shell

I tried and I tried to live with the lie

That worry would one day leave my side

So I sliced at the veins until they were drained

To empty the bitterness out of my brain

When I waltzed into the sky

I saw the sea of all my tears

And she was tugging at the tides

When I kissed the moon's ear

So I slipped inside a dream

As deeply as the dawn

When the sun silently screams

Ablaze across the lawn

'Cause a blue and bloody night

Could fix it all for good

Underneath her glowing light

Where the sadness sweetly stood

The illusion of life was as sharp as a knife

Carving away at the symptoms of strife

'Til I leveled the land with the wave of my hand

And the pillars of pain dissolved into sand

Cardinals kept on flying low

When they'd leave they'd reappear

Through the falling winter snow

When I kissed the moon's ear

The orchestra of stars around

Played for my heart to hear

The beauty that I'd finally found

When I kissed the moon's ear

All I wanted was the rose
