Lyrics
Tethered was my wild, wild heart,
Now I’ve got a brand new start
Been carrying these bags so long,
The freedom and the weightlessness almost feels wrong
You may think I’m leaving far too soon
But I can’t keep from howling at the Aquarius Moon
Changes come and lovers go,
I guess we’ll never really know
But now that I have been set free,
I hope that I can finally, finally, finally find me
Like wind slowing shifting the sands along the dune
I can’t keep from howling at the Aquarius Moon
Uncovering something raw and tender,
Like green springing through the snow
Breaking up, breaking down,
Let it out, Let it go
I never meant to hurt you or lead you on,
And it’s not even that the love was gone
But now it’s time for me to let you go,
I’m grateful for your love, and the way you helped me grow
I’m floating away through the air like a toy balloon
‘Cause I can’t keep from howling at the Aquarius Moon
