the waterboys - the southern moon lyrics
[verse 1]
the southern moon was glancing down
and the watchman was reclining
on his rush+strewn bed of leaves
a horse flew out, its rider gowned
and his armor, it was shining
through his pale embroidered sleeves
[verse 2]
the watchman twisted as he dozed
i could hear his keys a+jangle
in his pocket, held by string
he was handsome in repose
illumined by his candles
like a statue of a king
[chorus]
the night, my dear, was cool and clear
i lay awake, too wide awake to sleep
[verse 2]
the fall of music on the breeze
a faint and chimy wind hymn
a wild aeolian spell
that slipped and shimmered through the trees
sometimes shrinking to a minim
at others, bold as bells
[chorus]
the night, my child, was old and wild
i lay awake, too wide awake to sleep
[bridge]
the southern moon fell from the sky
the candles sparked and guttered
the scene grew cold and black
the watchman snored a lullaby
then, in his sleep, he muttered
“daisy buchan, please come back”
[chorus]
the night, bo peep, was long and deep
i lay awake, too wide awake to sleep
