Verse 1
I can’t understand the moon, she haunts me, from behind her pale mask,
fell too hard, too soon, too much the fool, to know it would not last
while Mars and Venus they’re making love, before my disbelieving eyes
she scorns me like some ne’er-do-well, but I have dreams inside
are you surprised, would you sympathize, with me
Verse 2
I won’t recognize the moon, dressed in her halo, seems sure to snow
through the voyeur’s lens I swoon, as she’s dancing naked, in the winter air
and all the icicles are laughing, I’m pretty sure at my expense
she makes fidelity obsolete, with the grand scope of her intent
I wish I’d had more sense, than to fall for the moon
Bridge
Somehow God got religion, somewhere near the Pleiades
she left my faith, adrift out there, would you share some with me please
Verse 3
I will never have the moon, there’s naught but cold dark space, between us
like a long forgotten tune, whose melody lingers
somewhere tonight in Miami, a woman in pleated skirt, pirouettes
and falls into the arms of a lover, he who could have had the moon,
he who would not have, the moon

Besides being my bandmate in Beyond Borders, Lisa is an amazing all around talent - singer, songwriter, musician, human. Check out "Camelot" - one of my alltime faves. Andrew McKnight
I miss my friend from West Virginia's Cheat River Valley deeply. Thankfully, we have his amazing songs to savor - celebrations of the Mountain State's troubled landscapes. Great guitar & singing! Andrew McKnight
