Fingernail Moon

Annie Lennox · Songs Of Mass Destruction [2007]

Fingernail moon

Up in the sky

Come out and see me

See me sometimes

'Cause I'm here alone

Stuck in the blue

No distance between us

Between me and you

I've got nothing to hide

I've got nothing to lose

You'll be by my side

C'mon tell me the truth



Elegant moon

You cut like a knife

It does me no favours

To stay out of my sight

Suspended like glass

All ancient and new

All space lies between us

Between me and you

There's no need to be shy

There's no need to be scared

I need you tonight

C'mon out if you dare



I'm just a girl with my feet on the ground

I'm just a girl with my head going round

I feel so sad

There's something unsettling under my skin

I don't know the reason or where to begin

I'm caught in the circles I found myself in

But I want to reach up and touch you



My sweet sickle moon

Up in the sky

Come out and see me

See me sometimes

'Cause I'm here alone

After all we've been through

With the distance between us

Between me and you

It don't matter how long

It don't matter how far

I'll meet you tonight

Under the stars
