Calling the Moon (Acoustic Revisited Version) Lyrics


The moon wanted
More of my night
I turned off the engine
And the headlightsThe trees appeared
As they'd never been gone
I promised the fields
I'd return from now onAnd the moon kept on rising
I had no more to say
I put my road maps away
And surrendered the dayAnd I know you'll be
Calling me soon
And if I don't answer
I'm calling the moonCalling the moon
I was calling her then
I'm wondering will she take me again?
Oh, I am calling the moonWhen I called
The moon back to me
I thought

She wanted my beautyI shone in the best
That vanity buys
I covered the path
Where my life turned to liesAnd the moon kept on rising
But I felt nothing at all
She comes when the empire falls
And shines on crumbling wallsCalling the moon
By the name that she chose
As Tennessee wandered
In moth eaten robesOh, I am calling the moon
Calling the moon
Oh, I'm calling the moonOh, make sense
Of me, night
I can see so much
From this cold heightThe moon said
"Oh, darkness my work is done
I've poured this bottle
Of light from the sun"But their anger keeps on rising
And they don't understand
I've shown them all that I can
That the world is at handAnd I know
They'll be calling me soon
And if I don't answer
I'm only the moonI can see by her light
This one's going out
To the moon tonight
Oh, I am calling the moonCalling the moon
'Cause I know what it's worth
To tug at the seas
And illumine the earthOh, I am calling the moon
Oh, I am calling the moon

American singer-songwriter Dar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade. Her studio album My Better Self finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.
