Moon Song

Frozen mountains, empty seas
Look at me, look at me
I’m a drifting lump of rock
I’m an extra bit that broke off

Well, it was fine, and it was good
I float through the night singing out my tune
That I am cold, will you be cold too?
Let me be your moon

Frozen mountains, empty seas
Look at me, look at me
But something happened, something changed
Brought fire to my plains

Around the earth I saw his face
A golden man with golden rays
He lit me up, lit me up bright red
Then he went and left me for dead

Now it’s not right, no it’s no good
I just can’t remember the words to my tune
Cos I am cold, he needs to be cold too
But he’s the sun and I’m the moon

I watch him flare, I watch him blaze
Watch him send out ions into space
Watch him light up the earth at both her poles
Watch him burn, watch him roll

It’s not right, no it’s no good
Still can’t remember the words to my tune
Cos I am cold, he needs to be cold too
But he’s the sun and I’m the moon

Frozen mountains, empty seas
Look at me, look at me
Lonely flag without a breeze
Look at me, baby look at me

Cos I am cold, he needs to be cold too
But he’s the sun and I’m the moon

He is gold, I am blue
He’s the sun and I’m the moon

He’s hot like the south, I’m cold as doom
He’s the sun and I’m the moon

He’s the daybreak, I’m his fool
He’s the sun
He’s the sun and I’m the moon
