I've been a pirate
And stolen the treasure of love from your ship in the night
And I've been an astronaut I have flown higher with you
Into pure firelight
And I have learned well All the secrets love tells
As I sit here alone in my room
Now
that you're gone
And my house is burned down
I've a much better view of the moon
I've been a dreamer And looked in the future
For signs of the
obvious road
I've been a driver
And hauled excess baggage of memories To pain overload
I've been around
Up the mountains and down to your valley
With spring coming soon
But now
that you're gone
And my house is burned down
I've a much better view of the moon
So call
if you want to
And write
if you need to
And run if you have to
I know how the heart must be free
Someone on their knees Cannot walk where the tall
grass grows
I've looked at love Through the eyes
of resistance
It happened
to you and to me But years take their toll
And I've carved my initials In the
bark of that old
wisdom tree
And there's
such a fine line
Between living and dying
And I
did it better with you But now that you're gone
And my house is burned down
I've a much better view of the moon
Now that you're gone And my house is burned down
I've a much better view of the moon
