Broken Jade Moon

Rain on the courtyard stone

Your name in my hands

I kept it warm and small

Like a paper lantern

The red scarf by the door

Still swings in the dark

I count the steps you took

Then lose them in my heart

If I call your name

Will the night look back?

If I reach for you

Will the silence crack?

I still see your face

In the falling ash

And I know, and I know

You were my last chance

Don’t let go

Don’t let go of me

Broken jade moon

Still shines on the sea

Come back home

Come back home tonight

My love was a tide

You were my only light

Tea cools by the window

Your chopsticks untouched

The old clock keeps its ache

And I feel it too much

I wore your old promise

Like silk on my skin

Now the hem is frayed

But I keep it in

If I call your name

Will the night look back?

If I reach for you

Will the silence crack?

I still see your face

In the falling ash

And I know, and I know

You were my last chance

Don’t let go

Don’t let go of me

Broken jade moon

Still shines on the sea

Come back home

Come back home tonight

My love was a tide

You were my only light

If the road is long

I will wait here still

Under the plum tree

By the broken hill

Take this weary heart

Take what’s left of me

Even sorrow bends

When you’re finally near

Don’t let go

Don’t let go of me

Broken jade moon

Still shines on the sea

Come back home

Come back home tonight

My love was a tide

You were my only light

Don’t let go

Don’t let go of me

Broken jade moon

Still shines on the sea
