New Moon

Like the light of the new moon
I only catch a darker view
When I look for you and you go unseen
Tied down in his living room
You dream think of sinking in the dunes
Kick off your sandy shoes and cuff your jeans

Did you ever think you'd see
The day when you turned 33
And wanted to be anywhere but here
I don't mean to hold you still
Half naked with a rolled-up bill
To wake up ill alone with me right there

Oh it's time to save what's left of your life
You'll survive another night, then another night
Oh it's time to say not a word of anything we did
Our secrets won't be his, and you won't be mine

You don't need to be so down
You look nice in your mother's gown
Well-wishers come to gather round your statue
And I don't mean to eulogize
Or look for doubt behind your eyes
Don't even want to say goodbye but I have to

Oh it's time to save what's left of your life
You'll survive another night, then another night
Oh it's time to say not a word of anything we did
Our secrets won't be his, and you won't be mine

And we'll be alright, just not tonight
