Under The Lunar Moon

Under The Lunar Moon




Under the lunar moon
The whip-or-will does sing
Its sad song seems to ring
In my heart I ask a boon

For love to take flight
To carry my prayers through the night
To God's ear on high
Is my true love drawing nigh

For I have spent many a day
Looking for my sweet love
To be sent to me on wings of a dove
In the end the piper I shall pay

For this I have learned a true lesson
That love is not to be bound
You must search within for it to be found
Above all you can't hold it in recession

A heart must be free
To learn the things of life
And get through its strife
I finally understand and see

She has been there all along
Helped to keep me strong
Why couldn't I see
How easy it was for love to be

For I will travel over every desert dune
And through Hell's hot fire
Over mountains that reach higher
Just to kiss her under the lunar moon
