Rain on empty glass

Streetlight knows my name

The jukebox played our song

But you forgot the flame

I trace your fingerprint

Dried coffee on the sink

This house is just a room now

Too tired now to think

Midnight's old guitar

One string left in tune

I asked the moon to leave with me

She left too damn soon

Your coat's still on the chair

Your ghost wears my shirt

Every mirror shows me

Exactly how it hurt

And I'm leaving the moon behind

She don't need my tears tonight

I'm leaving the moon behind

Chasing a fading light

One more bend till the string breaks clean

One more breath of gasoline

Yeah, I'm leaving the moon behind

But she was never mine

I held you like a borrowed chord

Vibrato in my hand

You slipped into a minor key

I couldn't understand

The Hammond hums your perfume still

The Rhodes just plays the dark

I took a swing at heaven, love

And hit a broken heart

And I'm leaving the moon behind

She don't need my tears tonight

I'm leaving the moon behind

Chasing a fading light

One more bend till the string breaks clean

One more breath of gasoline

Yeah, I'm leaving the moon behind

But she was never mine

Some men drink to remember

I drink to forget your face

But the blues ain't about the leaving

It's the staying in one place

"You know... I saw a man once. Dublin. Late. He played a red guitar with no pick, just his thumb. Played the saddest thing I ever heard. And when he finished... he didn't look up. Just packed his case and walked into the fog. No bow. No smile. Just... gone.

That's the sound I've been chasing all my life.

That's your name on my fretboard.

Leaving the moon

Leaving the moon

Leaving... the moon...behind.
