what the moon does

Ben Howard

Oh, I m a wreck
With your chain
Come to me, make me sane
Feed the dog, walk a mile
Speak it simple, make me smile
Tell me a thought, tell me beautiful things
Like how the river bends
In a wild wood creek
Am I making history?
Am I working out?
Only what the moon does to the devout

And I may be floating through memory
We may be the broken wings on a butterfly
But didn t we dream big
Once or twice?
And that s just fine

Oh, I m a wreck
With your chain
Come to me, make me sane
Feed the dog, walk a mile
Most things now make me smile
Tell me a thought, tell me beautiful things
Like how the river bends
In a wild wood creek

And I may be floating through memory
We may be the broken wings on a butterfly
Didn t we dream big once or twice?

Through a ribbon of the night
Broke the candle, bathed in light
While all around us real life
Flashed at the window

You didn t, you didn t have to tell me
I knew it always
You didn t, you didn t have to tell me
I knew it always

Oh, I m a wreck
With your chain
Come to me, make me sane
Feed the dog, walk a mile
Most things now make me smile

Am I making history?
Am I working out?
Only what the moon does
To the devout
