Metropolis: Restless moon lyrics

Metropolis

Restless moon

How long can we play these games

Where outcome is always the same

When its you and I 

The stakes are so high 

And its just so hard to win

Weve got so much time invested

Were tried and true, torn and tested

After so many years and so many tears 

How did we get back here again

Its too late to turn back now

Without giving in somehow

I thought that love was there for the taking

But our whole world seems to be breaking

And theres nothing we can do

So Ill try to hold on till tomorrow

For one more day without sorrow

But the night slips away too soon

In the fading light of a restless moon

Same old scenes play over and over

And between the lines we just might discover

The naked truth that its just no use

To try to fight it any longer

But I dont want to let go now

When I might lose it all somehow 

I thought that love was there for the taking

But  our whole world seems to be breaking

And theres nothing we can do

So Ill try to hold on till tomorrow

For one more day without sorrow

But the night slips away too soon

In the fading light of a restless moon

How many times can we give it one more try

If we take our chances and we let the sparks fly

There's a candle lit at both ends and it's burning up the night

So let 's let love light up the sky
