The Sliver Moon
There’s a blanket on the fields / and the sliver moon is rising through the trees / now the stars appear like diamonds / spinning wild through the spiraled galaxy / there was something I was thinking / but I left it when it led my mind to ruin / it’s just a dream / day will come soon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / it’s just a dream / day will come soon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / there’s a city in the distance / and it glitters like a gypsy’s wicked jewel / there’s an ancient woman dancing / and a man of shadows sitting on a stool / any moment they might rise up / cast their spirits past the faded afternoon / it’s just a dream / day will come soon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / it’s just a dream / day will come soon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / every beating heart is beating slower / every soul now somehow sings in tune / even now the sky is sweeping over / the sliver moon / well this morning I was sleeping / when I heard a crowd rush out into the street / and they tore the sliver moon down from the heaven tree / and bound its hands and feet / though it died a thousand times by day / when night came back it rolled forth from the tomb / it’s just a dream / day will come soon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / it’s just a dream / day will come soon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon / it’s just a dream / day will come soon / God is dreaming on the sliver moon.
