From the recording Promise to Harry
Exquisite feel to this haunting ballad on riding out the highs and lows and abiding love. Another Sherpas poetic gem wrapped in a soft waltz.
Lyrics
The honeymoon’s over
The house is too still
The embers are dying
As they always will
And if we cling to the light
It fades all too soon
My love it’s all right
It’s just one more phase of the moon
We start on the mountain
The wide world below
Spread out like a flower
To have and to hold
But if we hold on too tight
It withers too soon
My love it’s all right
It’s just one more phase of the moon
Oh... sometimes you wonder
If it’s all over
Just one stolen kiss
Oh... sweet while it lasted
Out with the ashes
And yet here it is
Oh... sometimes you wonder
If it’s all over
Just one stolen kiss
Oh... sweet while it lasted
Out with the ashes
And yet here it is
The dance floor is empty
It’s almost a shame
So here’s my invitation
To join me again
Don’t hold on too tight
If the song ends too soon
My love it’s all right
It’s just one more phase of the moon
My love it’s all right
It’s just one more phase of the moon
