i was going to write something down, the pen went dry
i was going to finish this song, the day went by
i looked over my shoulder and night was there
but honey for you, i'd do anything, anywhere
two children tall as my knee
four blackbirds in a barren tree
we're just waiting around, watching the sun go down
you know we're always so lonesone until you come around
and we all need something to light up the night
i've never thrown a punch but I'm ready to fight
i'm no expert, i'm willing to learn
I'm no supernova but honey I'm ready to burn
woke up singing cried myself to sleep
joy is fleeting, the sorrow is deep
i'm a moon-mad dancer a little wild and untrained
but if you want a partner you know I want the same
yellow moon is on the rise
sometimes you only believe what's before your eyes
this is the longest night of the longest year
don't know where you are now I only it isn't here
and we all need something to light up the night
i've never thrown a punch but I'm ready to fight
i'm no expert, but I'm willing to learn
i'm no supernova but, honey, I'm ready to burn
backwards or forwards, left or right
i am watching the second hand, the cabbie watches the light
i looked over my shoulder and morning was there
but honey, for you, I'd do anything anywhere
i'm no expert, but I'm willing to learn
i'm no supernova but, honey, I'm ready to burn
i'm no jet fuel fire, but, honey, i'm ready to burn
