Oh I have put the moon in a box
Oh I have put the moon in a box
Along with the swoosh of the sea
Yes I have sealed the moon with a lock
And hidden the silver key
I hauled it in on the brightest night
With a lasso made of silk
It traced a path of the whitest light
And all the world was gilt
Tomorrow in vain to yearn for tide
No more the magic pull
Beyond the horizon far and wide
Nowhere the moon is full
Oh I have put the moon in a box
Too beautiful to see
I tied it up to make it stay
Queen by night and ghost by day
Yes I have sealed the moon with a lock
To keep it just for me
Oh I have put the moon in a box
Along with the swoosh of the sea
Yes I have sealed the moon with a lock
And hidden the silver key
I hauled it in on the brightest night
With a lasso made of silk
It traced a path of the whitest light
And all the world was gilt
Tomorrow in vain to yearn for tide
No more the magic pull
Beyond the horizon far and wide
Nowhere the moon is full
Oh I have put the moon in a box
Too beautiful to see
I tied it up to make it stay
Queen by night and ghost by day
Yes I have sealed the moon with a lock
To keep it just for me

Yippee, back on line with a stunning return. You would have anticipated I am sure that this would go straight to my heart and fill me with joy. xxx
ReplyDeleteI did I did indeed Jude - and glad to have you back too! The moon in question was just soooooooo beautiful it was almost unbearable which is where the idea came from. Isn't it a glorious photo I found too?
