Lyrics

The Sun and the Moon are in Love

With the chill of the winter wind and the warmth of the summer air

And each time that the sun and moon rise in the great sky they share

As grass grows in an open field just flowing with the wind

Flowers sprout out of the ground so thrilled it’s warm again 

And love, is love when the sun meets the moon with the morning sky

And love, is love when the moon kissed the sun goodnight

Following each River down to the bodies that they feed

To find the food that fruits the growth of plants the planet needs

Kisses from the morning sky breathe life into the earth

While hugs from the moons quiet light gives pulse for rebirth

And love, is love when the oceans waves caress the shore

And love, is love when the shore loves the ocean even more

And even when life wilts away decaying into dirt

The worms and mushrooms thrive that day wanting at it first

Like the way the ocean breathes, filtering through sand

The planet lives through each death across all her land

That leaves us with me and you, small in our own way

Loving more than one could know through life and through decay

And love, is love when you look at me with your sweet smile

And love, is love when your heart fills a hole, so stay awhile

My Books

Within the pages of my books

I meet the fierce and tender looks

Of comrades young and old

I hear the tramp of legions feet

And garments soft, about me sweep

As man walks sure and bold

I feel the rhythmic breath of time

Blow chill and hot in every clime

The universe grows small

As science challenges the past

Religion quietly holds fast

And love speaks through it all

Of war and peace, of love and hate

Of time and thought, both old and late

There is no absent trend

And in each volume on the wall

Each man or maid, from tent or hall

I greet a living friend

I feel the rhythmic breath of time 

Blow chill and hot in every clime

The universe grows small

While science challenges the past

Religion quietly holds fast

And love speaks through it all

Yes, love speaks through it all

Within the pages of my books

Gone With the River

I’m headed somewhere 

Got nowhere to be

I’ll climb every mountain

And swim every sea

Grass grows around me

It’s handed to fate

And I start to wonder

Too little too late

If I’m going, I’m going

And I’m gone

With the rivers, as they’re flowing

Along

Wonder surrounds me

As swift as the sky

As fast as the grass grows

I want to know why

Nature moves quickly

Yes, faster than fate

And I start to wonder

Too little too late

If I’m going, I’m going

And I’m gone

With the rivers, as they’re flowing

Along

Into the dark of night

Sleep by my side

So when the moon takes flight

You can hold me tight, ‘cause

I’m still headed somewhere

Still nowhere to be

I’ve climbed every mountain

And swam every sea

Grass had engulfed me

And so has fate

No time to wonder

Too little too late

‘Cause I’m going, I’m going

And I’m gone

And the rivers are still flowing

Along

I’m going, going, going

I’m gone 

And the rivers are still flowing

Along

Yes, the rivers, they’re flowing

Along
