Moonchild

NOTE: This does not contain The Dream or The Illusion. The Dream has no

guitar parts to be transcribed, as far as I can tell, and The Illusion is an

improvisational jam.

"Talking to the trees..."

Call her moonchild

Dancing in the shallows of a river

Lovely moonchild

Dreaming in the shadow

of the willow.

Talking to the trees of the

cobweb strange

Sleeping on the steps of a fountain

Waving silver wands to the

night-birds song

Waiting for the sun on the mountain.

She's a moonchild

Gathering the flowers in a garden.

Lovely moonchild

Drifting on the echoes of the hours.

Sailing on the wind

in a milk white gown

Dropping circle stones on a sun dial

Playing hide and seek

with the ghosts of dawn

Waiting for a smile from a sun child.
