lyrics

Silver Moon Sleeps
On top of the lake
Angels have flown
After the rain
And every night
The music will rise
To the air

You’re living inside
The sound of the breeze
Carrying water anointed by thieves
Brother bestows
The palest of glows
On the ground

Souls like me might never know
The beauty of the music started long ago
The journey’s been far too long
Won’t you please sing a song
For me

Crust of the earth
Hungry and wild
Blessed by the delicate song of a child
Please won’t you stay
I’ve come all this way
Just to listen

Songs of her children
Cover the land
They invite you to know them
Any way that you can
The other side of the earth
A penniless child is laughing

Souls like me might never know
The beauty of the music started long ago
The journey’s been far too long
Won’t you please sing a song
For me

Silver moon sleeps
On top of the lake
Angels have flown
After the rain
And every night
The music will rise
To the air
