Don’t take too long
To write your song
We’re sailing soon
Please raise your hand
That waning moon
It’s the saddest moon I know
That fading moon
Means we really
We really
We really have to go
And as I gaze
Over the silver sea, clouds
Darken over me
And yes I know
I’m both twixt and tween
But I’m evergreen
That yearning moon
Can be a bitter moon, I know
That crying moon
Means we really
We really
We really need to go
Don’t take too long
To write our song
We’re sailing soon
Under a bright new moon
That silver moon
It’s the kindest moon I know
And now we’re going home
And we really
We really
We really have to go
