I have been listening to a lot of Neko these days. Such a beautiful voice and such beautiful lyrics. It's hard not to fall in love with her music. I've been playing this particular song over and over. Maybe because this is how I've been feeling lately. So tired, cold, numb, old, wishing I was the moon, far far away from here.....


I Wish I Was the Moon
by Neko Case

Chimney falls as 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 [woman]
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
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 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
I wish I was the moon tonight
