Oh moon

Oh moon
Home to seven trembling faces
Nameless, blank expressions
Your face, the friendliest I’ve known
Oh moon
Home to my heart and soul
Your soft glow
Carries me ‘cross the night
Though I tremble by thy naked hand
Oh moon
Stranger to the angels
and to blues sparrows
flying like arrows
in silhouette across your twilight deserts

Oh moon
Quiet in the starlit night, my
faithful friend
watchful guard
My guiding light
I thank you
Pray, for with you
Solitude gives me strength

Oh moon
Oh moon

In your smile I see a woman’s face
Oh moon
In your eyes a voice cries out ‘Awake!’
Oh moon
I hear you speak softly now
Oh moon
You whisper my baby’s name
Oh moon

Oh moon
