about

A deeply personal ode to saying goodbye, to parting words and loss,
‘Moon and Back’ is a beautifully sad song depicting something we all must do in our lives.

“Goodbye, such a sweet and simple word, yet a dagger to the heart, tears your world apart”

lyrics

Goodbye. Such a sweet and simple word.
Yet a dagger to the heart, tear your world apart.
So long, it seems oh so long ago
Had to let go of your hand and now I understand.

You said “I love you, to the moon and back” and
everywhere beyond and in
between, through every nightmare and every dream.
You said “I love you to the moon and back” and like we’d always say, sure as night
follows day, we’ll meet again.

It’s absurd, seems I’ve been mourning you for years. Late nig
ht listening at your
door, sweet relief to hear you breathing.
You seemed so old when I was young, the last leaf on the tree. But you were that
tree to me and I took shelter in your branches.

You said “I love you, to the moon and back” and
everywhere beyond and in
between, through every nightmare and every dream.
You said “I love you to the moon and back” and like we’d always say, sure as night
follows day, we’ll meet again.
