the moon (intro)

She’s been having the same old dreams

lullabys and pale blue skys(fill one)

Fallin’ asleep beneath the stars

Orion aims and shoots his arrows

oh so far, he aims at heart

(fill two)

He shoots the moon and takes it as his own reward

If she’s gonna see them stars too soon

She’ll run fast by the shy of the moon

She found out so long ago, she wants more than all she knows

The river ends right as she goes(fill one)

Water breaks and she’s gone down

In the only tone

She’s below

(fill two)

I’ll stand tall and hold up high my mistletoe

If she’s gonna shine just like brand new

So take my hand and we’ll run by the shy of the mo-oo-on
