Half Moon Rising
Chasing Home: A Half Moon's Journey through Passion and Wilderness
Lyrics
There's a house somewhere I know where's the fire's burning all night long
Reference to a house with a perpetual fire, symbolizing warmth and comfort.
There's a swing outside on the porch where I feel like I'll
Describing a swing on the porch, suggesting a tranquil place to reflect and relax.
Rock away the dusk until the dawn
Expressing a desire to spend peaceful moments rocking away the dusk until dawn.
And even though the wind may be howlin'
Acknowledging external challenges (wind), but the stars provide motivation.
The stars are bright and they push me on and on
Highlighting the brightness of stars as a source of inspiration to persist.
There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies
Observing the presence of a half moon in the southeastern skies.
There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide
Noting a cold wind across the great divide, implying challenges or obstacles.
And the stars they guide my way across the night
Stars serving as guides through challenges during the night.
There's a half moon rising
Reiteration of the half moon rising and its motivational influence.
It's pushin' me on to another mountain top
Half moon pushing the speaker to reach another mountain top metaphorically.
Push me on, no no I'll never stop, push me on home
Commitment to continuous progress and resistance against stopping.
There's a half moon rising in the south eastern skies tonight
Reaffirmation of the half moon rising in the southeastern skies.
Now the shoes on my feet, those soles broken down
Description of worn-out shoes and coat, reflecting hardship and endurance.
And my coat is tattered and worn
Emphasizing the deteriorated condition of the coat.
And the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head
Acknowledging hunger and fever, expecting relief at the sight of home.
Will vanish 'ere my first glimpse of home
Anticipating the disappearance of challenges upon reaching home.
And even though the rain may now be fallin'
Despite rain, passion remains strong and propels the speaker forward.
The passion is deep and pushes me on
Emphasizing the depth of passion as a driving force.
There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies
Reiteration of the half moon rising in the southeastern skies.
There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide
Highlighting the challenge (cold wind) across the great divide.
And the stars they guide my way across the night
Stars continuing to guide the speaker through the night.
There's a half moon rising
Reaffirmation of the half moon's motivational influence.
It's pushin' me on to another mountain top
Half moon pushing the speaker to reach another mountain top metaphorically.
Push me on, no no I'll never stop, push me on home
Commitment to continuous progress and resistance against stopping.
There's a half moon rising in the south eastern skies tonight
Reiteration of the half moon rising in the southeastern skies.
There's a still at dawn like the sound of your loves breath
Comparing the stillness at dawn to the sound of a loved one's breath.
As she lies sleeping
Referencing a sleeping loved one, creating a sense of tranquility.
Down below me now in the valley
Valley as the only place on earth the speaker wants to know.
Is the only piece on earth that I ever want to know
Expressing deep affection for the described place.
And her lips are as soft as I remember
Remembering the softness of the loved one's lips.
She alone has brought me back on home
Crediting the loved one for bringing the speaker back home.
There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies
Reiteration of the half moon rising in the southeastern skies.
There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide
Highlighting the challenge (cold wind) across the great divide.
And the stars they guide my way across the night
Stars continuing to guide the speaker through the night.
There's a half moon rising
Reaffirmation of the half moon's motivational influence.
It's pushin' me on to another mountain top
Half moon pushing the speaker to reach another mountain top metaphorically.
Push me on, no no I'll never stop, push me on home
Commitment to continuous progress and resistance against stopping.
There's a half moon rising in the south eastern skies tonight
Reiteration of the half moon rising in the southeastern skies.
