Josh Ritter Right Moves Lyrics

All of a sudden now you're back again
I thought you were happy with whoever or did you dream about me now and then
Did you look up at the stars and feel something for the constellations

All those lovers circling round their loves
Slings and arrows, dogs and lions, rivers separating touch from touch
The comedy of distance, the tragedy of separation

Am I making all the right moves
Am I singing you the right blues
Is there a time when I could call you
Just to see how you are doing?

I said how is it that you come back to me?
You dont need the stories of my scars or in the stars to tell you nothings free
I traded all the innocence I ever had for hesitation

I said wont you tell me where you been?
You put a finger to my lips and then you kissed me once and once again
The crickets all leapt up and met the moon with a standing ovation

Am I making all the right moves
Am I singing you the right blues
Is there a time when I could call you
Just to see how you are doing?

I heard the night birds picking up the song
You threw your hair back and you sang along
And I realized that I might lose you, you might lose me Drift apart in the night and never know why and not know how

I said what if we are like the Northern sky?
What if there are things that come between us that we cant take back and we cant make right?
You said I dont know darlin but Im here with you And were coming to the chorus now!

Am I making all the right moves
Am I singing you the right blues
Is there a time when I could call you
Just to see how you are doing?
