The man in the moon is a woman in disguise Behind the mask she has summer in her eyes The night air hangs thick the crickets fade From east to west the evenings on parade Red sun, yellow moon green grass, breathing room Lay me in my childhood bed dream of better days Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room Lay me in my childhood bed The alleys lined in barrel fires Burning leaves, black smoke spirals We married young In our mothers lace With promise rings To hold a place Red sun yellow moon green grass breathing room Lay me in my lover
