Uncertain Terms - The Borrowers

Said the moon to the silvery trees

I will always be with you

But the worlds kept turning anyway

And if the moon believed what he did say

His words were proved untrue

Many clouds rolled in that night

Turned the sky a charcoal grey

And when the clouds had finally passed

The trees of silver saw at last

The moon had gone away

And love dictates uncertain terms

In words that will deceive

But love will never let you learn

Just beg you to believe

Said the river as it rushed by

Don’t you know where the moon has gone

His path is chosen by the night

To remind us of the morning light

And you must carry on

For though the moon may worship you

And though his heart you’ve won

There’s another voice he must obey

Another love he can’t betray

Nor can his direction stay

From the journey he’s begun

And love dictates uncertain terms

In words that will deceive

But love will never let you learn

Just beg you to believe

Love dicates uncertain terms

Its language is deceiving

But love will never let you learn

You just have to keep believing
