Lyrics Ring Around The Moon - Greg Brown

Ring Around The Moon

We don’t know when we came;
you know it’s been so long
Everything is the same;
so let’s do one more song
Ring around the moon;
long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune;
please don’t go away
You be the mandolin;
I’ll be the steel guitar
You dance out and in;
I’ll cry up so far
Long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune;
please don’t go away
Everybody’s been alone, been to the parade
Tryin' to find the bones of this masquerade
And there’s a ring around the moon;
long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune;
please don’t go away
Love she always passes lightly and away
Like a lioness gets restless when she comes to stay
And there’s a ring around the moon;
long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune;
please don’t go away
Pickin' on the strings, tapping of your feet
Well, these are age-old things, but who can say how sweet
When there’s a ring around the moon;
long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune;
please don’t go away
