"Astounding Moon" lyrics

"Astounding Moon"

A boy was looking at the sky
His telescope and eager eyes were fitted on the distance
He thought nothing else could come between
His life was full and evergreen
And gone in an instant
The moon was waiting for someone
To come along and waste some time
Waste some precious time
It was over all too soon

Astounding moon
Solemn and pale
Astounding moon
There hangs a tale
A fool is never alone
Astounding moon

She'll eat you out of house and home
Then leave you feeling more alone
As if it never happened
But winter skies are clear and bright
The stars as close as satellites
Or a drinking glass that's shattered
The moon is waiting for someone
To come along and waste some time
Take some precious time
It'll all be over soon

Astounding moon
Solemn and pale
Astounding moon
There hangs a tale
A fool is never alone
Astounding moon

Putting me in touch with myself
You know me so well

Astounding moon
Astounding moon
