Sifters

If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
 Moon plays the ocean like a violin
 Pushing and pulling from shore to shore
 Biggest melody you never heard before
 What if I were the night sky
 What if I were the night sky
 Here's my lullaby
 my lullaby to leave by
 lullaby to leave by
 If I were the night
 What if we hadn't been born at the same time
 What if you were 75 and I were 9
 Would I come visit you
 Bring you cookies in an old folks home
 Would you be there alone
 And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms will I remember to breathe no I never will
 And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm
 Just want to show you how not to need
 What if I were the night sky
 Here's my lullaby
 my lullaby to leave by
 lullaby to leave by
 If I were the night
 What if we hadn't been each other at the same time
 Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime
 Would I rock you to sleep
 Would you tell all the secrets you don't need to keep
 Would I still miss you
 Or would you then have been mine
 If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
 Moon plays the ocean like a violin
