From an EP called Little Mercy, that I'll release sooner rather than later.

lyrics

c'mon now girl this ain't no cause to cry / dark-haired girl with the sad, sad eyes / you showed me the brave & the love & the kind / in your heart, now girl don't you know I tried? / & I thought someday that I could make you mine / but the moon always knows when to let the sun shine / the moon always knows when to let the sun shine / your friends caught me stumbling around in the dark / looking for a new face just to keep my teeth sharp / a man gets week when his girl gets gone / so I spit out the words I was choking on / but it was too late baby and you told me so / so I bit off my tongue and I let you go / you came back baby though its been some time / now I know I'll never call you mine / now I know I'll never call you mine / you were the color but I was so blind / you were the light but I covered my eyes / & I thought someday that I could make you mine / but the moon always knows when to let the sun shine / & I know now girl so go on and shine //
