The moon lays silver on the sea
A road from you, maybe, to me
That August night the moon was whole
We stood barefoot on the shoal
A path of light ran to our feet
You said"a road!" — your voice so sweet
The sea builds bridges out of light
That only hold a summer night
The moonpath shimmered, silver-spun
A road for two that walks for none
We stood right where the bright began
And never walked it — no one can
Now when the moon is full and low
I take the shore road, walking slow
The path still lays itself on cue
Still reaching somewhere — probably you
The sea builds bridges out of light
That only hold a summer night
The moonpath glitters, mile on mile
The ocean's most convincing aisle
A silver lie, a lovely one
Like every promise under that moon
If light can lay a road on water
Maybe missing you's no bother
The moonpath shimmered, silver-spun
A road for two that walks for none
But roads that can't be walked stay bright
No footprints ever dim that light
The moon lays silver on the sea
Still paving nights from you to me
