lyrics

Once in a thousand moons
True love may just appear.
And it becomes the living proof that you won.
But time calls in all debts
And leaves us deeply in arrears
And now those moons are simply eclipsing the sun

Don't look to the skies anymore
We are over, done, and let me underscore:
It's too late for Brigadoon,
I am over the moon. And you.

True love is common enough
And yet it's hard to find.
No wonder people like to cheat their truths.
But when friends can see the fiction
Writ in every storyline
It's time to fix your reality: UNDO

Don't look to the myth anymore
We are over, done, and let me underscore:
It's too late for Brigadoon, or truth.
I am over the moon. And you.

The mists and magic clear
Just smoke and mirrors, of course.
Me smoking high with a stack of remorse.
Pure fantasy, land of you and me.
It's a place that could never be.

So pour a glass and read about
This true crime instead.
The fairytales must go back on the shelf.
The moon wags his finger at me
As he says it's time for my bed
But he wrote the fictions so bad for my health.

Don't look to the skies anymore
We are over, done, and let me underscore:
It's too late for Brigadoon, or truth.
I am over the moon. And you.
