This full moon
rising high above these waters tonight
gleaming like a razor at its edge
Where have I seen this moon before?
This full moon
terrifying in the evening sky tonight
a silver wraith, a siren’s song
Where have I seen this moon before?
Clouds drift by but can’t obscure its light
It brings me comfort through this cold and lonely night
This full moon
I’ve seen it burning in the depths of your eyes
the glow that draws me near you like a moth
drawn from darkness to the flame
This full moon
rising high above these waters tonight
shining like that moon within your eyes
and I gently call your name
rising high above these waters tonight
gleaming like a razor at its edge
Where have I seen this moon before?
This full moon
terrifying in the evening sky tonight
a silver wraith, a siren’s song
Where have I seen this moon before?
Clouds drift by but can’t obscure its light
It brings me comfort through this cold and lonely night
This full moon
I’ve seen it burning in the depths of your eyes
the glow that draws me near you like a moth
drawn from darkness to the flame
This full moon
rising high above these waters tonight
shining like that moon within your eyes
and I gently call your name
Twenty-five years have passed and still I see through the clouds of my breath the dark shapes of the blue herons fishing in the shimmering shallow waters of Mona Lake...
