Shooting The Moon
by Ben Shive

Album: The Cymbal Crashing Clouds

Okay,
Deal me in,
But I can never fake it;
When I've got a pair of aces,
It's written on my face.

I just think I know
A good hand
When I hold it,
And I don't walk away--
I'll stay.

It used to be
If my eyes were open
I was looking out
for number one;
It was a lonely life.

So if it's gonna be you and me
It's each for the other, baby,
From now on.

'Cause all my eggs are in one basket;
All my money's on you.

I know it's a gamble,

But if all that I'm holding's
A two of a kind
I'll be betting on you
With my last dime.
And maybe I might be
out of my mind,
But you know I'll stay.

I'll never leave you.

I know it's a gamble,
But I'm shooting the moon.
