lyrics

the moon boiled and broke
into many glassy peices
that fell to dark earth
I hid in the shadows
of the leaves
and saw dark pools shifting
quietly while
my body was breaking
and rippling into something else.

Colors were make believing
with wings erecting I became
you were the brilliant lion of the sun
coming to help me bring the lost children of the dead moon home
Home home home home.

Your roar shattered the stars
gave birth to the wind
and those broken stars cascated
I collected them
to feed to the tired
the so very tired moon children

Colors were make believing
with wings erecting I became
you were the brilliant lion of the sun
coming to help me bring the lost children of the dead moon home
Home home home home.

we taught the children love and they planted seeds
vines that grew to the heavens and higher
and when those vines flowered and seasons shifted
falling petals became new moons
the children climbed the vines and they returned home
the children climbed the vines and they returned home

and then the sun rose, and it swolloed you, my lion
and then the sun rose, and it swollowed you
with a shadow of a bird flying across the fire
with a shadow of a bird flying across the fire ...

Colors were make believing
with wings erecting I became
you were the brilliant lion of the sun
coming to help me bring the lost children of the dead moon home
