Moonless
Julie Byrne
That night at the old hotel
I've been learning you by heart
Voices rising through the smoke
Tables caving in
I found it there in the room with you
Whatever eternity is
All these netted gems
I found a life there in the room with you
The sky is moonless
And the sea surrounds me
What does it matter the story
If your absence remains
I feel it right here
What eternity becomes
I'm not waiting for your love
I'm not waiting for your love
I watch each particle move
Easy to say it's taking everything to do
And I watch each particle move
Walls of a moment widen through the air to you
