[Intro]
the moon by the stone house kept your chair in blue
and every quiet shadow looked a little like you

[Verse 1]
The fire was low, the windows breathed rain
I spoke your name and it softened the pain
years made a river, years made a wall
but love grew gentler after it all

[Pre-Chorus]
If moonlight has memory
let it sit here next to me

[Chorus]
Moon by the stone house, shine on the chair
shine on the scarf that still keeps the air
I will not ask why the seasons moved through
I only know I was changed by you

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
The picture is faded, the smile is young
like morning bells in a forgotten tongue
I close the door but I leave one light
for every sorrow to sleep tonight

[Bridge]
Do not fear the darkened sky
the moon knows how to rise

[Final Chorus]
Moon by the stone house, shine on the chair
shine on the scarf that still keeps the air
I will not ask why the seasons moved through
I only know I was changed by you

[Outro]
the moon by the stone house kept your chair in blue
