Moonbeams - Throw Me The Statue

I’ve had a rich life in large part because of him

In my fifth year here he left this place

And the boys he raised and the girl he’d found

Were soldiers now

Things got lost in the moonbeams there

For a little while

And I watched as the grown-ups grieved

But I was still a child

Locked in a dream, I saw his face

Backlit in the light of what he made

Impressions of struggle were all I gave

And his hand took my hand

My feet matched his stride

The ground swept away as we rose through the sky

And we floated like that

So we walked in the moonbeams there

It shook everything

And we filled up the vacant years

I could hardly speak

So we walked in the moonbeams there

It shook everything

And we filled up the vacant years

I could hardly speak

I explore his old house

And Grandpa’s closet shelves

To hold on to artifacts and the histories

I invent and retrace, and unfold

Oh, we walked in the moonbeams there

It shook everything

And we filled up the vacant years

I could hardly speak

When you walk in the moonbeams there

It shakes everything

When you clutch at the bliss in a dream

I could hardly believe it

I circle the reasons

Things got lost in the moonbeams there
