lyrics

Moon Song
Enion Pelta-Tiller (BMI)
My love and I down to the river
went hand in hand and there we lay
The stars were falling from the heavens
and the dark night was bright as day
and the dark night was bright as day

O come with me to lands beyond
you'll be my queen of light and air
wear robes of stars and a shining crown
of brightest silver round your golden hair
of brightest silver round your golden hair

a single tear fell from my eye
oh no my love I cannot go
for this green earth i'm bound to care for
to leave it now would grieve me so
to leave it now would grieve me so

Have I not sung you of the waters??
that taste as sweet as ruby wine
have I not told you of the gardens??
where stars are growing from the vine
where stars are growing from the vine

He shed a single tear of diamond
and on my breast so cold it lay
I could not speak, my words were stolen
into the woods I ran away
into the woods I ran away

O the dark night shines bright as day now
these hills and valleys are my throne
My duty followed my heart is empty
reflecting light that's not my own
reflecting light that's not my own
reflecting light that's not my own
