Calling The Moon — текст песни (Dar Williams)

The moon wanted more of my night

I turned off the engine and the headlights

The trees appeared as theyd never been gone

I promised the fields Id return from now on

And the moon kept on rising

I had no more to say

I put my roadmaps away

And surrendered the day



And I know youll be calling me soon

And if I dont answer Im calling the moon

Calling the moon

I was calling her then

Im wondering will she take me again

Oh, I am calling the moon



When I called the moon back to me

I thought she wanted my beauty

I shone in the best that vanity buys

I covered the path where my life turned to lies

And the moon kept on rising

But I felt nothing at all

She comes when the empire falls

And shines on crumbling walls



Calling the moon

By the name that she chose

As tennessee wandered in moth-eaten robes

Oh, I am calling the moon

Calling the moon

Oh Im calling the moon



Oh, make sense of me, night

I can see so much from this cold height

The moon said oh darkness my work is done

Ive poured this bottle of light from the sun

But their anger keeps on rising

And they dont understand

Ive shown them all that I can

That the world is at hand



And I know theyll be calling me soon

And if I dont answer Im only the moon

I can see by her light

This ones going out to the moon tonight

Oh, I am calling the moon



Calling the moon

cause I know what its worth

To tug at the seas and illumine the earth

Oh, I am calling the moon

Oh, I am calling the moon
