The dew crept, on to the belly Of a girl who slipped into the woods To make her bed on the ground Please, please, she said No reveries to tease a soul That's not at ease And comfort in society Could not be found And oh, this crystal chalice So full and heavy with pain And oh, she preferred the simplicity Of livin' alone and sippin' straight from the rain Sippin' straight from the rain And sleepless nights knew her well And the fireflies could tell a story or two About how how how how how this girl Called down the moon At night she followed the moon And call called her down At night she followed the moon And call called her down To sleep with her when she is full and round And they spoke in a cryptic cryptic moon language She was cradled in a cradle, she was cradled And she knew the moon held no home This moment was just a passing song And the heat of the day Was cocooned around her No more runnin' away And no more fireflies No more great escapes And just once more she had to reply To the cry of the moon At night she followed the moon And call called her down At night she followed the moon And call called her down To sleep with her when she is full and round At night she followed the moon And call called her down At night she followed the moon And call called her down To sleep with her when she is full and round To sleep with her when she is full and round
