	The Moon and I There is a love affair between The Moon and I We skate the Milky Way in a forever sky And all the stars crash like waves beneath our feet And time could never find us As we slip beneath nova sheets And down below, you command the ocean’s tides But you spin alone in a prison of gravity Magnetic soul casts a spell so enchanting Behind my eyes, I search in my galaxy Come to me Show me how you glow We’ll escape to the other side of space Where forever and never and all that’s unknown is known
	No More Amsterdam The more that I see, the less I know And this time, that’s not what I need I waver between Go on or just let go But holding on Is what I’m used to When I’m in an undertow Cote du Rhone Or the airport courtesy phone Tell the fortune you’re building Why did you build out of cards What I should have built of stone But now my plane’s at the gate and boarding And I can’t do this thing alone unless there’s No More Amsterdam You made me what I am And I can’t pay in kind When something precious always ends up left behind Old ways lift and pull Whole days left half full Claimed I didn’t mind Later And when it’s all done When you’ve had your fun And the smoke lingers on Burning off beside the paper crown I put it back on and see how it goes And wear the lie As if it had the power to carry you home And there you are in the hotel bar Gone Holding diamonds you traded Watching the friend who Once was a paragon Coming undone But now my plane’sat the gate and boarding And once I hear those engines roaring, there’ll be No More Amsterdam You made me what I am And I can’t pay in kind When something precious always ends up left behind Old ways lift and pull (and I can’t stay honest) Whole days left half full I claimed I didn’t mind The more that I see, the less I know.
