"Strawberry Moon" lyrics

I don't know where you ended up
But I heard some things around town
And I saw your face printed black and white
The sunlight gone from your eyes

Always dancing with the strawberry moon
Shuttered windows never held back the blue

Born into love safe and warm
I can see you in the dim light of the crowd
With a face as sweet as a porcelain doll
You laughed through the night 'til you took to sail

Always dancing with the strawberry moon
Shuttered windows never held back the blue

I had a dream that you were young again
Looking like you did before your mama died
And in my dream you held me to your chest
Now you're a flicker in the looking glass

Always dancing with the strawberry moon
Shuttered windows never held back the blue

How the time paints us down the paths we choose
Until the common thread is worn right through
There were years when our rivers ran as one
Now you wear all the colors of the setting sun
Setting sun
