Ballad Lyrics

Have you ever watched a moonbeam

Passed out drunk in Calton Hill Park

Its smooth light licking up your chin

As a gravestone crow's cawing in the dark

Next morning hungover, another adventure

Dive into Detifoss in Iceland or from Maya Beach in Thailand

Shaking spider-monkey hands, hearing ancient Inca chants

Drinking French red country wine, petting English cottage swines

But with your phone excepted no one to share it with

Well it took the longest time, it took the longest of times

But now I have you

Have you ever watched a moonbeam

Caressing the sheets in a summer night

Outlining the legs slowly pacing their dreams

While the curtains swell up in a spectre so bright?

And then the next morning starting up the old Volvo

Off to Palermo's catacombs following the Amalfi coast

Or to Chernobyl's power plant ? Or the onsens of Japan

In a snowy Hokkaido ? See it unrolling in slow-mo

Let's throw our phones in Etna's lava, offline we go together

Well It took the longest time, it took the longest of times

But now I have you
