New Moon Lyrics

Well I've always been certain
Nearly all of my life
One day I'd be your burden
And you would be my wife

Let me hang like a New Moon
And let me be your twin
Let me hang like a new moon
And don't treat me like a stranger again

You keep me as your thief
Please let me be a little more
And when you fall asleep
Let me be what you're dreaming for

Let me hang like a new moon
Don't treat me like a stranger anymore

Well I've always been certain
Nearly all my life
One day I'd be a burden
And you would be my wife

Let me hang like a new moon
High in the wind
Let me hang like a new moon
Don't treat me like a stranger again

You keep me as a theif
Please let me be a little more
When you fall asleep
Let me be what you're dreaming for

I've always been certain
Nearly all of my life

Sukierae is the debut album by Tweedy, a side project formed by Jeff Tweedy and his son Spencer. The record was titled after Jeff Tweedy's wife and Spencer's mother Sue "Sukie" Miller, whose fight with cancer during its recording influenced the lyrical content. Jeff Tweedy explained to Uncut magazine: "She called herself Sukie her whole life because ('60s teen idol) Peter Noone's little sister was Sukie Noone, and she was in love with Peter Noone when she was nine."

Although Sukierae was started before Sukie Miller's diagnosis of cancer, many of its songs describe scenes from a long love affair with a hint of melancholy. Jeff Tweedy sings here over an acoustic guitar:

Oh, I've always been certain nearly all of my life
One day I would be your burden, and you would be my wife

Tweedy told Uncut: "Well, she's definitely on my mind a lot, always, and especially while writing lyrics for this record. It was hard not to sing to her, and honor this thing that we've maintained, that's so hard to do."
