“The Moon Song”


I was hoping to be uploading the Chapter 2 audio today of “The Rule Book & Calendar of Kittery Embers“, but I got some radio work and I have to focus on that this week. But Chapter 2 is done and all I need is a few hours to record and edit and I’ll upload asap.

The Moon Song and the Smoke Song are both part of the upcoming Chapter 2. Both are songs that I imagine Kittery’s father singing to her over the campfire. Obviously, he wouldn’t have a string section, but I like a lift off.

Lyrics:
Unbuckle the sun, slip on the old moonlight
A basket of stars, a blanket of velvet night

And I hope we come this way again
Cause I’ll take the moon for my best friend
But I’m inside out with sleep when she arrives

Unbottle the birds, sing in the sun’s delight
In a garden of blue, carnation clouds take flight

And I hope we fly this way again
Cause I’ll take the sun for my best friend
But I’m inside out with life when he arrives

Up in the hills, let’s you and me abide
The rocks and the dirt in a pine needle shirt come by
The hills are all horses, now everything can ride

And I hope we ride this way again
Cause I’ll take you dear for my best friend
But you’re inside out with song and so am I…
