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 don't need the stories of my scars
Or in the stars to tell you nothing's free
I traded all the innocence I ever had for hesitation

I said, won't you tell me where you've been?
You put a finger to my lips and then you kiss 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 was picking up this 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, never know why and not know how

I said, what if we are like the northern sky
When there are things that come between us
That we can't take back, we can't make rights
You said I don't know darlin' but I'm here with you
And we're 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?

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?
