Rises The Moon by Liana Flores
Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
But (1)__________ sunlit days, one thing stays the same
Rises the moon
Days (2)________ into a watercolour blur
Memories swim and haunt you
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon
Oh-oh, close your weary eyes
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To (3)____________ fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you down just (4)________ a (5)______________ ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the moon
Days pull you up (6)________ like a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll tell you what you owe, but (7)________ even so
Rises the moon
You'll be visited by sleep
I promise you (8)________ soon the (9)____________ comes
To steal away each dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
But (1)__________ sunlit days, one thing stays the same
Rises the moon
Days (2)________ into a watercolour blur
Memories swim and haunt you
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon
Oh-oh, close your weary eyes
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To (3)____________ fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you down just (4)________ a (5)______________ ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the moon
Days pull you up (6)________ like a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll tell you what you owe, but (7)________ even so
Rises the moon
You'll be visited by sleep
I promise you (8)________ soon the (9)____________ comes
To steal away each dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
