Dar Williams - Calling The Moon Lyrics
The moon wanted more of my nightI turned off the engine and the headlightsThe trees appeared as theyd never been goneI promised the fields Id return from now onAnd the moon kept on risingI had no more to sayI put my roadmaps awayAnd surrendered the dayAnd I know youll be calling me soonAnd if I dont answer Im calling the moonCalling the moonI was calling her thenIm wondering will she take me againOh, I am calling the moonWhen I called the moon back to meI thought she wanted my beautyI shone in the best that vanity buysI covered the path where my life turned to liesAnd the moon kept on risingBut I felt nothing at allShe comes when the empire fallsAnd shines on crumbling wallsCalling the moonBy the name that she choseAs tennessee wandered in moth-eaten robesOh, I am calling the moonCalling the moonOh Im calling the moonOh, make sense of me, nightI can see so much from this cold heightThe moon said oh darkness my work is doneIve poured this bottle of light from the sunBut their anger keeps on risingAnd they dont understandIve shown them all that I canThat the world is at handAnd I know theyll be calling me soonAnd if I dont answer Im only the moonI can see by her lightThis ones going out to the moon tonightOh, I am calling the moonCalling the mooncause I know what its worthTo tug at the seas and illumine the earthOh, I am calling the moonOh, I am calling the moon
