It takes cheerful resignation
Heart and humility
That's all it takesCheerful person told me
Nobody's harder on me than me
How could they be
And nobody's harder on you than youBetsy's blue she says
Tell me something good
You know I'd help her out if I only couldOh, but sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window
The thieves left that behindPeople don't know how to love
They taste it and toss it
Turn it off and on
Like a bathtub faucetOh sometimes the light
Can be so hard to find
At least the moon at the window
The thieves left that behindI wish her heart
I know these battles
Deep in the dark
When the spooks of memories rattleGhosts of the future
Phantoms of the past
Rattle, rattle, rattle
In the spoon and the glassIs it possible to learn
How to care and yet not care?
Since love has two faces
Hope and despairPleasure always turns to fear I find
At least the moon at the window
The thieves left that behindMoon at the window
They left that behind
At least they left the moon
Behind the blind
Moon at the window
