When The Moon
Moonlit Revelry: Love, Mischief, and the Dance of Shadows
Lyrics
When the moon rises over the meadow
Anticipation of the moon's appearance over the meadow.
And the grass is glistening with the dew
The dew on the grass reflects light, creating a glistening effect.
I'll come home and find you softly sleeping
The singer expects to find their partner peacefully asleep upon returning home.
And I'll throw up and I'll pass out next to you.
Following the return home, the singer will vomit and lose consciousness next to their partner.
When the moon rolls through the darkness
Referencing the moon's movement through the darkness of the night.
And the birds have all gone up to their beds
As the night progresses and the birds settle, the singer will be at the pub with friends.
I'll be down at the pub with my buddies
The singer will be socializing at the pub with their buddies.
And I'll kick all the teeth out of their heads.
The singer humorously claims they'll engage in a violent act by kicking their friends' teeth out.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Inviting the partner to return during summer in the meadow.
And come ye back when winter's in the glen
Encouraging the partner to return during winter in the glen.
For I'll be there and softly I'll sing for you
The singer promises to be present and sing tenderly for the partner on their return.
If the IRA hasn't kidnapped me again.
Humorous reference to potential troubles with the IRA, implying a lighthearted yet serious situation.
