Someday they'll lock the gate

And your crescent moon will fall

Who will help you to your feet?

Who'll say "Don't give up" again?

They shot the streetlights out;

I wondered if you knew

That they had no choice that day--

Their hometown's burned away

When I saw you at the bay

With your suitcase and your ring

You found the boat was on the rocks

Where's the warning sign?

The place where I found you

Was inside the doughnut shop

Then you heard the whistle blow

Much louder than my voice

I heard some kids, they said:

"You can't be born again."

And they had no choice that day--

Their hometown's burned away

If you never, ever, ever come back, come back to you...

Your crescent moon will fall, again
