Strawberry Moon
Dancing with the Strawberry Moon: A Poetic Journey through Love and Loss
Lyrics
I don't know where you ended up
I'm uncertain about your current whereabouts
But, I heard some things around town
However, I've heard rumors circulating in the town
And I saw your face printed black and white
I observed your face in a monochrome print
The sunlight gone from your eyes
The vitality has vanished from your eyes
Always dancing with the strawberry moon
You are consistently dancing under the influence of the strawberry moon
Shuttered windows never held back the blue
Windows sealed shut couldn't hold back the feeling of sadness
Born into love safe and warm
You were born into a world of love, secure and warm
I can see you in the dim light of the crowd
I can spot you in the faint light of the crowd
With a face as sweet as a porcelain doll
Your countenance is as charming as that of a porcelain doll
You laughed through the night til you took to sail
You laughed throughout the night until you set sail
Always dancing with the strawberry moon
You persistently dance under the influence of the strawberry moon
Shuttered windows never held back the blue
Even closed windows couldn't keep out the feeling of sadness
I had a dream that you were young again
I dreamt that you regained your youth
Looking like you did before your mama died
Resembling the way you looked before your mother passed away
And, in my dream you held me to your chest
In the dream, you embraced me against your chest
Now, you're a flicker in the looking glass
Now, you're just a fleeting image in the mirror
Always dancing with the strawberry moon
You persistently dance under the influence of the strawberry moon
Shuttered windows never held back the blue
Even closed windows couldn't keep out the feeling of sadness
How the time paints us down the paths we choose
Time gradually shapes us along the paths we choose
Until the common thread is worn right through
Until the shared connection is completely worn out
There were years when our rivers ran as one
There were years when our lives flowed together like rivers
Now you wear all the colors of the setting sun
Now, you bear the hues of the setting sun
Setting Sun
You are the setting sun
