lyrics

Pale sliver of a crescent moon
noonday high in a bright blue sky
Wisp of white in a foreign place
arrests the sweeping eye
The moon’s still right where it should be
it’s not mine to make the rules of time and space
The noonday moon’s no stranger
than me in this strange place

High noon crescent moon, what do you show me?
Blue sky, call the tune – sing and set me free.

Red sun flashing through the trees
hours ago so painfully bright
Dimmed ‘til you can look it in the face
as day fades into night
The sun’s still all life’s powerhouse -
my edge of day is noon to another’s eye
It will surely shine tomorrow
and somehow so must I

High noon crescent moon, what do you show me?
Red sun, call the tune – sing and set me free.

She wasn’t who she said she was
but by the time he saw that, she was gone
A violet-tinted memory
that tugged and teased him through the fitful dawn
And he wonders where she wanders now
for he can’t see how she ever could slow down
but the girl that he remembers
is neither who she was or who she may be now

Last star to fade before the dawn
speaks from long ago and far away
Light older than the ground I tread,
what word for this new day?
The stars will shine again tonight
and bless eyes young or wise enough to wonder
Will I remember morning’s word
when this day fades into another?

High noon crescent moon, what do you show me?
Bright star, call the tune – sing and set me free.

Pale sliver of a crescent moon
noonday high in a bright blue sky
