lyrics

The moon shone upon your eyes
She showed her cycle repeating three times
I decree, she said, This is all you will last
You’ll be gone, she said by her third pass

Honestly, I never wanted you to leave
The moon held her influence like we were her seas
The Atlantic, she called you to it
By Apollo she swore she’d do it
She made me ebb and she made you flow
She made me stay, and she made you go

She’s got her gravity, she’s got her pull
And a certain sort of power when she’s full
But without the sun she’d never shine so magnificently
And outside of your eyes she’s not much to see

Honestly, I never wanted you to leave
The moon held her influence like we were her seas
The Atlantic, she called you to it
By Apollo she swore she’d do it
She made me ebb and she made you flow
She made me stay, and she made you go

Selene, oh, Selene

The moon shone upon your eyes
And tonight she shone upon mine
I’m not sure how many cycles she’ll go through
Before the next time that I see you

Honestly, I never wanted you to leave
The moon held her influence like we were her seeds
The Atlantic, she pulled you to it
By Apollo she swore she’d do it
She made me ebb and she made you flow
She made me stay, and she made you go

Selene, oh, Selene
