The Sun King and the Winter Moon

歌詞

The Night Birds and the Birds Of Morning Sang together for a spell Till the Night Birds song became a warning A warning they knew all too well Morning would be coming soon They flew off toward the Winter Moon And they followed her down as down she fell They followed her down as down she fell How far down I'll never tell Followed her down as down she fell As down she fell she called out to him "Aren't you cold without me dear?" Her silver tongue sent shivers through him He pretended not to hear But she knew him like no others did She knew where all his hurt was hid He followed her down but he never got near He followed her down but he never got near He had no hope and he had no fear He followed her down but he never got near When the Sun King rose that afternoon He looked like he had been through hell All night he'd chased that Winter Moon Ask him why, he could not tell But when she finally turned to him We all saw his light grow dim And he followed her down as down she fell He followed her down as down she fell How far down I'll never tell He followed her down as down she fell So fly away home you Birds Of Morning Fly away all you Night Birds too Or all your songs will die a'borning All except this mournful tune About the Sun King and the Winter Moon The Sun King and the Winter Moon
