fish – poets moon lyrics
“poet’s moon” from the fish single “credo” —
you sit there biding your time of your head and into your mind
penning thoughts that are dreams in action
a gl-ss raised to an absent muse a boy stands in his father’s shoes
and a drunk man smiles at thistle under a poet’s moon
under a poet’s moon there’s a life sign burning
a poet’s moon like a vision shining and
the lovers lie in the long gr-ss, stolen flowers make their bed
under a poet’s moon there are dreams in action, prayers met
and questions answered as the world birls in the darkness
i’m still staring at the skies under a poet’s moon
a night black as hoodlo’s eye, the sparks fly from a tinker’s fire
as the stories burn among us under a poet’s moon
a seed falls onto stony ground without a hope and without a sound
from the weeds will grow the flowers under a poet’s moon
under a poet’s moon, there’s a salmon dettling
in a guddler’s hand that is patient waiting
with a lover’s touch, to charm the life
his fingers play the reeds
under a poet’s moon there’s a whistle blowing out in no mans land
where a flare is falling in a deadly night
the dreamers stand like flowers in a storm
you sit there biding your time out of your head and into your mind
penning thoughts that are dreams in action
a cross made in a polling booth another flies in a field
of blue and a drunk man smiles
at a thistle under a poet’s moon
under a poet’s moon there are angels crying, dead men born
and devils laughing and the dance goes on regardless till
you’re carried from the floor
under a poet’s moon there are dreams in action
prayers met and questions answered as the world birls in the darkness
i’m still staring at the skies, under a poet’s moon
