Dawning Moon - Pete O'Connell
Watching always the horizon
Seeing only wild eagles
Thinking choosing clothing then I
Went into the beach hut and I
Brought some laundry out to wash
And hung it on a line out front
Killing bugs and airing rugs and
Falling on my knees to sweep up
Then a long time squatting on a the toilet hidden in the trees
Dripping wet and thinking of
Electric time and I don't mind and
Now it seems my clothes are clean and
So am I a welcome stranger
I read a book since there was time and
Went back to some writing then the
Sun went down and I admired it
Through the wooden curtain then I
Went outside into the weather
Trodding to the ocean in the
Twilight time I'm glad I came
The moon it soon will climb above me
Dawning moon you're your
Earth mamma's pride and joy
Ventured more I walked into the
Wind and all the waves are flying
Moon you've finally climbed above to
Greet your visitor this evening
Sailing sails and all the whales are
Operators patching little
Signals going to the moon and
Back I'll wait here to receive them
Dawning moon you're your
Earth mamma's pride and joy
