Words  mean more at night
Like  a song
  And did  you ever  notice
  The  way light means more than  it did all  day long
Words  mean more at night
Light  means more
  Like your hair  and your face  and your smile
  And our bed  and the dress  that you wore
  So  I'll send  you my words
  From  the corners  of my room
  And  though I write  them by  the light of day
  Please read  them by the light  of the moon
 And I wish  I could leave  my bones
And  my skin
 And float over  the tired,  tired sea
  So that I  could see  you again
Maybe  you would leave  too
 And we'd blindly  pass each other
 Floating over  the ocean blue
  Just to find  the warm bed  of our lover
 And I'll send  you my words
 From the corners  of my room
 And though I write  them by  the light of day
  Please read  them by the light  of the moon
  Please read  them by the light  of the moon
  Please read  them by the light  of the moon
