Apple and Moon

[Verse 1]
He sat beneath the tree
With mud on his shoes
A red thing fell down clean
And changed the rules

He wrote in the margin
With ink on his hand
Why does it fall this way?
Who told it to land?

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the night sky moved
In his tired old head
One law for the apple
One law for the dead

[Chorus]
Apple and moon
Same hands, same tune
Apple and moon
He tied them in the room
(Apple and moon)
(Apple and moon)

[Verse 2]
He caught light in glass
Turned the sun to rain
Blue, gold, and green
Spilling through the pane

He saw the world split wide
In a thin white line
What looked like one day
Held a thousand signs

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the night sky moved
In his tired old head
One law for the apple
One law for the dead

[Chorus]
Apple and moon
Same hands, same tune
Apple and moon
He tied them in the room
(Apple and moon)
(Apple and moon)

[Bridge]
With a quill in the dark
He named what we miss
A fall, a curve, a spark
In a final twist

No crown on his brow
Just a page and a beam
But he reached through the sky
And woke up the dream

[Final Chorus]
Apple and moon
Same hands, same tune
Apple and moon
He tied them in the room
Apple and moon
The whole world sang through
(Apple and moon)
(Apple and moon)
