Calling the Moon |
| The moon wanted more of my night |
| I turned off the engine and the headlights |
| The trees appeared as they’d never been gone |
| I promised the fields I’d return from now on |
| And the moon kept on rising |
| I had no more to say |
| I put my roadmaps away |
| And surrendered the day |
| And I know you’ll be calling me soon |
| And if I don’t answer I’m calling the moon |
| Calling the moon |
| I was calling her then |
| I’m wondering will she take me again |
| Oh, I am calling the moon |
| When I called the moon back to me |
| I thought she wanted my beauty |
| I shone in the best that vanity buys |
| I covered the path where my life turned to lies |
| And the moon kept on rising |
| But I felt nothing at all |
| She comes when the empire falls |
| And shines on crumbling walls |
| Calling the moon |
| By the name that she chose |
| As Tennessee wandered in moth-eaten robes |
| Oh, I am calling the moon |
| Calling the moon |
| Oh I’m calling the moon |
| Oh, make sense of me, night |
| I can see so much from this cold height |
| The moon said oh darkness my work is done |
| I’ve poured this bottle of light from the sun |
| But their anger keeps on rising |
| And they don’t understand |
| I’ve shown them all that I can |
| That the world is at hand |
| And I know they’ll be calling me soon |
| And if I don’t answer I’m only the moon |
| I can see by her light |
| This one’s going out to the moon tonight |
| Oh, I am calling the moon |
| Calling the moon |
| Cause I know what it’s worth |
| To tug at the seas and illumine the earth |
| Oh, I am calling the moon |
| Oh, I am calling the moon |
