Verse i

Before there ever was a you and me

The endless void of a dark black sea

And a giant oyster, the mother of all things

 And the oyster made a pearl

 And the pearl became the world

 And the world began to turn

 And the sun began to burn

 Then one day I met you and I fell in love

 And you broke my tender heart and so here we are

Chorus

 But there was always the moon

 There was always the moon

 There was always the moon

 There was always the moon

Verse ii

Before there ever was a you and me

The slender branch of a gentle tree

 And a big red fruit that hung low to the ground

 And you picked it out of spite

 And you took a careless bite

 And the world was not the same

 And we all know who to blame

 So now when you think of me do you think of when

 There was still a chance but it’s over so here we are

Chorus

 But there was always the moon

 There was always the moon

 There was always the moon

 There was always the moon

Verse iii

Remember when there was a you and me?

When there was such a thing as gravity?

 And the tides came in and the tides went out again

 But the water got too high

 And the sun began to die

 And I tried to make you stay

 But the world pulled you away

 And now there are darker longer colder nights

 And the sun has gone for good and so here we are

Chorus

 But there is always the moon

 There is always the moon

 There is always the moon

 There is always the moon
