Sharing the River Moon's Light

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

The tide pushes the night toward the flowering grove

A stretch of white sand catches the distant clouds

By the shore I ask about the very first encounter

Who first placed the moon in a pair of eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

The river has journeyed through so many years on the world's behalf

Tonight it illuminates the longing you and I share once more

[Chorus]

At this moment the moonlight is passing over you too

Crossing a city, then falling into my heart

We did not hear each other's voices

Yet we can draw close in the same clear light

At this moment the moonlight is passing over you too

May every distant road offer guidance home

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Rolling up the upstairs curtain cannot roll away this night

Those aboard still dream of a spring that has not returned

Fallen blossoms write time into the water

I gently leave your name in the wind

[Pre-Chorus]

The river has journeyed through so many years on the world's behalf

Tonight it illuminates the longing you and I share once more

[Chorus]

At this moment the moonlight is passing over you too

Crossing a city, then falling into my heart

We did not hear each other's voices

Yet we can draw close in the same clear light

At this moment the moonlight is passing over you too

May every distant road offer guidance home

[Bridge]

A generation's stories will one day fade into the distance

Another pair of eyes will still gaze, lost in the moonlight

If this meeting is only a moment in the long river

Let tenderness remember this moment deeply

[Final Chorus]

At this moment the moonlight is passing over you too

Crossing a city, then falling into my heart

We did not hear each other's voices

Yet we can draw close in the same clear light

At this moment the moonlight is passing over you too

May every distant road offer guidance home

[Outro]

Waiting until another season's blossoms have fallen beside the river

May my homeward steps finally lead to you
