Low Red Moon
written by Tanya Donelly

.

So what?
You think this is usual?
Strange moon
Strange land
Strange man

Hold your hands with tiny horses
Hold them, hold them kindly
Man

Low red moon
How can you
Sleep like a baby
Sleep like a baby

When you shine so different on another?
You shine different on another

I look up and I see the raising of an old hope
Brave and tattered
A shining knight with shining eyes
Who shines around me brightly

So now
I say this is beautiful
I think you are
Strange

Low red moon
How can you
Sleep like a baby
Sleep like a baby

When you shine so different on another?
You shine different on another

Strange moon
Strange land
Strange
Moon you made me cry when I was young
And I was young

Now I've got strong arms
Strong arms for a skinny girl

And I say
"He belongs to me"
He belongs to me
He's a human bed of roses
