You once said the moon would sleep
reflections of a mood so deep
altered states we loved to keep
in boxes painted blue
Was it only us who knew,
How the corn fields danced
to songs sung by the wind and grass
and how your naked body
held the highlights
of all the best reasons to be alive
All the more reason for us to drive
to where the edge of the earth
swallowed shadows
You once said the moon would sleep
and wake up as the sun
just to dry the sweat from off our skin
And ruin all the fun
