The wrong side of the moon

They said take the plunge, dont be afraid to dream
It all seemed so well, as it always seems
I told you all, once, beneath a full moon
Guess I'm looking now at the wrong side of the moon

I never asked for mountains or flowers
I dont think I ever wanted to touch the stars
I wanted, in your heart, but a little bit of room
Guess I dreamt of the wrong side of the moon.

I hold my pen, it quivers as it writes
As do the tears as they stand atop my eyes
Guess it doesnt get better so soon
Guess I was always on the wrong side of the moon

I lay down my head on a pillow at night
I close my eyes and I dream of you in the moonlight
You're holding my hands and I'm looking right at you
And I am dreaming of the wrong side of the moon

I touch your face and you look into my eyes
I wish I could hold on to this moment for my life
But its hardly morning and I wake up all too soon
And I'm still alone and on the wrong side of the moon

I get up, brush and bathe, life must go on
Stare with wistful glances at the growing dawn
At a fading image of you amidst flowers in bloom
I was always, always on the wrong side of the moon.
