I could blame our partin’ for the fact that I’m not startin’ all my
Mornings at the time they ought to start and I could
Summon up a sisterhood, cry lead me out of widowhood
But that is melodrama on my part
I could blame my grieving on the fact that I’ve been leaving us
Behind, the ones we were when this began, but I have
Rose-tinted us ruby and I’ve conjured up a new me, who bent
Freely to her newly moulded man

But we bent and we broke and I meant what I spoke and the
Blame game does not produce a winner, we went as
Far as we could go we had to go that far to know that we had
Nowhere left to aim and no one left to blame but
The moon’s wax and wane and the turn of the tide
The moon’s wax and wane and the turn of the tide

And I could blame my parents for my vices so inherent that I
Cannot shake them much as I may try, but how
Much have I inherited? Or picked up since I was a kid that
Nature versus nurture paradigm, I could
Blame wrong turns that I take on decisions that my head makes
Then trace each error right back to my heart, and is it
Broken ‘cause you toyed with it or was it formed with a little split
That grows each year further and further apart
[Chorus]

But we love and we lose and we lash-out and we bruise and the
Name of the game’s just the living, we go as
Far as we can go we’ve got to go that far to know that we have
Everything to gain by knowing we can blame
The moon’s wax and wane and the turn of the tide
The moon’s wax and wane and the turn of the tide

And so I look to Karma and if I try not to harm another
I will not be harmed by anything, If I
Salute the magpie knock on wood will I be doing any good? Am I
Strung up or do I pull the string? Will the
Fact I cling too tightly to my dreams come back and bite me? Am I
Trying to make a science of an art? And will the
The very fate I wish to woo be the one that I undo by
Thinking I can steer this crazy cart?
[Chorus]

But I’ll live and I’ll learn and I’ll light and I’ll burn
’Til the flame simmers down to a spark, I'll go as
Far as I can go I’ve to go that far to know that I have
Everything to gain, by knowing I can’t train
The moon’s wax and wane and the turn of the tide
The moon’s wax and wane and the turn of the tide

I never said it was your fault
I only wanted to blame someone
I never said it was your fault
I only wanted to blame someone
The moon’s wax and wane and the turn of the tide
