When the sea turns to black and the whispers begin
When the moon disappears and the tide's coming in
When your dreams grow too dark for your tired eyes to see
Call her name  It's easy  Feel the illusion of free

She won't love you forever but she'll love you tonight
She won't make it last but she can make it seem all right
But then she'll leave you standing in the sullen pale moonlight
You won't know she's gone 'til she's long out of sight

She'll promise you the moon and your heart she will ignite
Don't let her eyes fool you  She's a slippery parasite
And even though you try to hold on with all your might
You'll fall back down to earth like a broken satellite

She'll always tell you stories of a pure and better world
But she's nobody's mother and she'll never be your girl
Her heart shows through her smile and her wisdom comes in pearls
But she's nobody's mother and she'll never be your girl

She'll try to tell you stories of a pure and better world
But she's nobody's mother and she'll never be your girl
Step into her smile and she'll take you for a twirl
But she's nobody's mother and she'll never be your girl
