Moon
Sheena Easton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know my heart so well
Now only time will tell
The secret language of our souls
How you appeared to me caressing
My broken wing
You weren't afraid when I was cold

So now I shed a tear for all the years

That I've wasted
'Til this moment with you

I won't question the river rising
I won't doubt the door to the sky
I won't turn my back on our soul connection
I will listen to the magic of the moon

Most men would walk away
Running from rainy days
But You're much stronger than them all
You love me for my heart
You show me all your cards
You never pushed to tear down my wall

So now I shed a tear for all yours
That have led me to this moment with you

I won't question the river rising
I won't doubt the door to the sky
I won't turn my back on our soul connection
I won't hide from the sun that shines
I won't laugh all the rolling thunder
I won't waste time engaging too soon
I won't run from the spirits direction
I will listen,I will listen to my heart,my soul and the magic

My heart,my soul and the magic
My heart,my soul and the magic of the moon
