Moon and Waves - Haroula Rose

why does the moon hang so low

on nights like these it feels so close

in the cape of stars that seem the same

does the moon know each one by name

why does every river’s flow reach for the sea

could they be lonely

seeking some truth to reveal

serving their purpose for eternity

when the waves they crash

maybe that’s how they dance

while we shrug and we sigh

and another day goes by

do do do do do do do do

do do do do do do do do

how do we orbit around

how come gravity won’t lose ground

what are these arms built for

if not to be wrapped around you

what are we all moving toward

if not to be brave enough to lose

when the waves they crash

maybe that’s how they dance

while we shrug and we sigh

and another day goes by

do do do do do do do do

do do do do do do do do

and that’s how moments pass

drops in an hourglass

oh where do we go, who knows

where we go

do do do do do do do do

do do do do do do do do

why do we push and pull away

maybe this time I’ll stay

and trace my face in the car window

wondering why the moon hangs so low
