It's Not The Same Moon

Every night upon the deck I'd watch the turning of the stars
All those constellations hanging from the cables and the rigging
Or reflected on a dark lagoon
I'd see your face upon the moon.

And now I'm here in front of you
I wonder if you see me true
The little girl I used to be or the woman in this face
Like those stars we've travelled light years
Since we've stood upon this place.

And they'd all stretch out towards infinity
Getting further and further away.

You have to help me figure something out
There's a good man. He bought a plot of land overlooking the river. A man I love, who's good to me and Tom. And he asks me to marry him and I don't say yes. Why is that?

Because you know you care for someone else
A boy who danced with me, made promises in the moonlight
I love you, Meg
No, you love who I used to be. Arthur loves who I am.

It's not the same moon in the sky
And these are different stars
And these are different constellations
From the ones that you've described.

Different rules of navigation
Strange coordinates and lines
A completely different zodiac
Of unfamiliar signs.

It's not the same moon in the sky
Those planets are misleading
So I shouldn't even try to take a bearing or a reading?
Just accept that things are different
There's no choice but to comply
When smarter men have failed to see
The logic as to why
It's not the same moon
It's not the same moon
It's not the same moon in the sky.
