Held within its stars I keep it in my heart The stars are your eyes I loved them right from the start A world so beautiful And I keep it In my heart
A ghosteen dances in my hand
Slowly twirling, twirling, all around Glowing circle in my hand Dancing, dancing, dancing, all around
A ghosteen dances in my hand
Slowly twirling, twirling, all around A ghosteen dances in my hand Dancing, dancing, dancing, all around
There goes the moonlit man
Got a suitcase in his hand He’s moving on down the road Things tend to fall apart Starting with his heart He kisses you lightly and he leaves Leaves your sleeping body Curled and dreaming around your smile Around your smile
The three bears watch the TV
They age a lifetime, O Lord Mama Bear holds the remote Papa Bear he just floats And Baby Bear he has gone Gone to the moon in a boat Oh in a boat
I’m speaking about love now
How the lights of love go down You’re in the back room washing his clothes Love’s like that you know It’s like a tidal flow And the past with its fierce undertow Won’t ever let us go Won’t ever let you go If I could move the night I would And I would turn the world around if I could There is nothing wrong with loving something You can’t hold in your hand You’re sitting on the edge of the bed Smoking and shaking your head Well there’s nothing wrong with loving things That cannot even stand
Well, there goes your moony man
With his suitcase in his hand Every road is lined with animals That rise from their blood and walk Well the moon won’t get a wink of sleep If I stay all night and talk If I stay all night and talk
