The Moon in Shadow - Doug Waterman
If you go to see the moon in shadow
There shall come a voice inside of you
Saying "Seek you out a place that's dark
The garden where the dead men walk"
I went out to see the moon in shadow
I went out I went out past the curfew
The agents of the law came after me
They said "We arrest you man"
Too late, just then the thing began
The edges of the moon were lost in shadow
They let me go but they would not set me free
For soon the dark had overtaken me
The moon was full, the moon was bright
The moon was swallowed by the night
And there is nothing left to me but shadow
When your own body seems to block the sun
Day and night shall be to you as one
I am tired, I am high
The things I've sought have made me cry
Can no one here help free me from the shadow
