Lyrics
I asked the moon and stars to play, one evening in the spring
I sought the participation of the moon and stars in a playful interaction during a spring evening.
Radiant and glowing, adore the light they bring
Expressing admiration for the bright and glowing nature of the moon and stars' light.
But clouds begin to gather, the night no longer clear
Clouds gather, causing the once clear night to lose its clarity.
Celestial friends move on, I'm wishing they were near
Feeling a sense of distance as celestial companions move away, wishing they were closer.
Lovely silver moon, stars shining at your side
Describing the moon as lovely and highlighting stars shining alongside it.
Smoothly sailing overhead, in the darkness ride
Imagery of the moon and stars sailing smoothly overhead in the darkness.
How do you rise and fall, look so near to me
Expressing wonder at the moon's rise and fall and its perceived proximity.
I wish you'd stay, I wish you'd stay but we go on separately
Expressing a desire for the moon to stay, but acknowledging the separation.
Climb up starlight's ladder, grab a moon beam's hand
Metaphorically climbing a ladder of starlight, reaching for a moon beam's hand.
Meet them where they rise, follow where they set on land
Encouraging to meet the celestial bodies where they rise and follow their journey on land.
Keep on building stairs, until toppling to the sea
Continuing to build metaphorical stairs until collapsing into the sea.
Moon is locked in heaven's box, the sun the only key
Describing the moon as locked in heaven's box, with the sun as the only key.
Lovely silver moon, stars shining at your side
Reiteration of the moon's beauty and the stars shining beside it.
Smoothly sailing overhead, in the darkness ride
Repeating the imagery of the moon and stars sailing smoothly in the darkness.
How do you rise and fall, look so near to me
Reflecting on the moon's rise and fall and its apparent proximity.
I wish you'd stay, I wish you'd stay but we go on separately
Expressing a wish for the moon to stay, despite the acknowledged separation.
Ignite the sky, ignite the sky, the moon and I, the moon and I
Using the metaphor of igniting the sky, expressing a desire to unite with the moon.
Together run and meet the sun, then we'll know the stars align
Proposing a joint journey to meet the sun, anticipating alignment with the stars.
The stars align
Reiterating the anticipation of alignment with the stars.
Lovely silver moon, stars shining at your side
Recalling the moon's beauty and the stars shining beside it.
Smoothly sailing overhead, in the darkness ride
Repeating the imagery of the moon and stars sailing smoothly in the darkness.
How do you rise and fall, look so near to me
Reflecting on the moon's rise and fall and its perceived proximity.
I wish you'd stay, I wish you'd stay, but we go on separately
Expressing a wish for the moon to stay, acknowledging the separation.
Lovely silver moon, stars shining at your side
Reiteration of the moon's beauty and the stars shining beside it.
Smoothly sailing overhead, in the darkness ride
Repeating the imagery of the moon and stars sailing smoothly in the darkness.
How do you rise and fall, look so near to me
Reflecting on the moon's rise and fall and its perceived proximity.
I wish you'd stay, I wish you'd stay, but we go on separately
Expressing a wish for the moon to stay, acknowledging the separation.
We go separately
Emphasizing the theme of going on separate paths.
We go separately
Reiteration of the theme of going on separate paths.
We go separately
Further emphasizing the theme of going on separate paths.
We go separately
Final repetition and emphasis on the theme of going on separate paths.
