For Neko, Who Wishes She Was the Moon.

How does Neko know
that a celestial body will happily oblige
when asked to absorb her sadness,
and refract her madness?
Because there is alchemy in her wish:
longing is magic.

I wish she was the moon.
I wish I was the moon.
We could rest.
We’re so tired.
So light the next stone she walks on.
Fill her veins with particle and wave.
Ripple-shine the next stream she crosses
so more songs like this will fill her
to bless us,
and order the heavens as she commands.
– Rosanne Cash

LYRICS
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands
And bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight

Last night I dreamt I'd forgotten my name
'Cause I sold my soul
But I woke just the same
I'm so lonely
I wish I was the moon tonight

God blessed me I'm a free man
With no place free to go
Paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear
This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight

Chimney falls as lovers blaze
I thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands
And bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight

How will you know if you've found me at last?
'Cause I'll be the one be the one be the one
With my heart in my lap
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
And I wish I was the moon tonight

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
And I wish I was the moon
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
And I wish I was the moon tonight
