Sister Moon

Sister Moon, Thomas Hellman

Just finished singing it once again...

Sister Moon
Skip across the sky
I can see your reflection
In the corner of my baby's eye

Sister Moon
You never never let me be
When I turn my eyes away
You come and find me

I saw you echo by the sea
To the middle of the water
You were calling me

And through the branches of those
Naked winter trees
I thought I heard you singing
A melody

Sister Moon
Sing that song for me
I've been dreaming of that melody
That melody means everything to me

Sister Moon
Skip across the sky
I can see your reflection
In the corner of my baby's eye

Sister Moon
You never never let me be
When I turn my eyes away
You come and find me

I'll always trust you
Follow in my madness
And let me in the silence
Of your melody

Sister Moon

Two songs about our sister moon. Same title, different song.

I love "Sister Moon" by Thomas Hellman, but I can't find the video or lyrics online. Check it out on iTunes.

Second-best is "Sister Moon" by Sting:

Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
I'd go out of my mind, but for you

Lying in a mother's arms
The primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sun
My eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart
When it's warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care what I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don't care if I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you

Sister Moon
