Barefoot in Moonlight (version 2)

Verse

Curtains pull to the silver glow

Barefoot on the floor we go

The gramophone hums through the room

We're caught up in the moon's sweet tune

Shadows stretch along the wall

Your hand finds mine, and I don't fall

No clock ticking us toward the end

Only this one quiet, lovely bend

Pre-Chorus

Is this the only thing that stays?

This soft air where our shadows play?

Can we hold onto nothing at all?

Just the way this room is standing tall

Chorus

Barefoot in moonlight, I am free

Lost in this slow hour, lost with thee

No clock ticking us toward the end

We're still spinning round this one sweet bend

Barefoot in moonlight, I give up time

Every shadow here becomes a rhyme

Verse 2

Your breath on my shoulder, cool and bright

The stars come out through the thin light

I let go of all I know to be

And find myself right here with thee

In this room where nothing's left to say

We're made of every word that fades away

I've never felt so truly found

Here in this quiet hour, on the soft ground

Pre-Chorus

Is this the only thing that stays?

This soft air where our shadows play?

Can we hold onto nothing at all?

Just the way this room is standing tall

Chorus

Barefoot in moonlight, I am free

Lost in this slow hour, lost with thee

No clock ticking us toward the end

We're still spinning round this one sweet bend

Barefoot in moonlight, I give up time

Every shadow here becomes a rhyme

Bridge

If every step we take away

Is just another line that stays

I'd walk forever through your eyes

And never lose this soft surprise

Chorus

Barefoot in moonlight, I am free

Lost in this slow hour, lost with thee

No clock ticking us toward the end

We're still spinning round this one sweet bend

Barefoot in moonlight, I give up time

Every shadow here becomes a rhyme
