about

The nights are growing longer and the moon is huge in the sky. It exerts a gravitational pull on the tides. Your body may be 50 - 70% water. Does the moon exert a pull on you, too?

Special thanks to Jo, formerly of Crimson Clocks, for performing on oboe and additional violins.

lyrics

The quavering moon is gone too soon,
The flowers of night are such delicate blooms
The stuttering moon sings out of tune
The beasts of the night trace delirious runes

CHORUS
Sing now, sing for the moon
Sing when you're winning Sing when you lose
Sing now, howl like a loon
Howl for the might of the moon

The dish ran away with the silver spoon,
the rivers of moon light flow into lagoons
Who dares to impugn her white-faced mis-tune
No song of the spheres is more inopportune

Sing now, sing for the moon
Sing when you're winning Sing when you lose
Sing now, howl like a loon
Howl for the might of the moon

Sing for the moon Howl for the moon
Whether or not you can carry a tune
Animals gather to hear what you croon
Sing for the might of the moon

The ravenous moon sings a tale of doom,
the sun looks so tasty and dark falls at noon,
And no cocoon shall prove immune
From bone white moonlight from playground to tomb

Sing now, sing for the moon
Sing when you're winning Sing when you lose
Sing now, howl like a loon
Howl for the might of the moon
